TheFineLine, I share your pain. Just a comment on Para. I've been a 1911 user for many years and thought a 1911 type that held a whole bunch of ammo would be pretty neat. I bought a new Para P-14 Limited a few years ago. Appeared to be nicely made, well fitted, etc. I'm not sure I ever got a full magazine of ammo throuhgh that gun without the same type of malfunction shown in your photos.

I have single stack 1911s by several manufacturers, no Paras, in ,45, 9MM and 38 Super. All just work. Best of luck with your Para, hopefully the manufacturer can sort it out.

Ps, I've had five Kimbers, One had an easily remedied issue. The others just worked 100% from day one.
