I have not had it happen to me but know of a few that has happens. The cause is normally found in fire control, sear, hammer,springs. The hammer sear is not engaging and may be having hammer follow. It could happen on a slam fire to in which the FP is stuck. The disconnector need to be checked for function to.
Do a complete detail cleaning and inspect the part closely.

I would start with the bolt and see how gunned up the firing pin channel is. Then I would detail strip the fire control part, like blue said, and look for parts with issues. ..
Do you have stock parts in it that have been modded, or have you put in after market guts?

Typically the hammer and sear engagement angles are off of specifications to cause this kind of failure. Firing pin could have jammed forward but that would be easy to detect visually by inspecting the bolt face. New pistol, no modifications made, possibly a defective part. Sending it back for repair was the right thing to do.

I hadn't considered the possibility of a broken sear pin but that could be a causal factor. Another one that could cause this type of situation is installing the sear spring backwards on the pivot pin, which would place too little return tension on the sear and cause it to slip off of the hammer hook during firing.
