Para Ordnance and my forehead
I purchased a P12-45 about 4 months ago and just recently it has started throwing hot brass at my head every few rounds. I realize this is the extrator acting up and I saw during my use of the forum search that Para does have a new extration system. Does anyone know if PO is able to retrofit pre PXT stuff or am I doomed to have little circles on my forehead. I purchased it used from Gander mountain but am not sure if the warrently that i purchased with it will cover the extraction problem.
On a related note I lost one of my grip screws the other day. Is there anyplace that charges less than 12 dollars for a 2 cent screw? |

Sounds like an extractor fitting issue. Any competent gunsmith can fix it.

I had a .380 case from a P3AT bounce off the wall at the range and get me.
Is there a wall involved with a bank shot? |

No prob. I have found that a little smear of RTV(silicone sealer) on the threads will keep them from coming loose without being too hard to take out when you need to.
