I would-and have-recommended them to my friends, and I'd easily trust my life with one. The second suggestion is contact the factory they might tell you something simple also (like maybe to remove the magazine and put a drop of oil on each side of the trigger bow inside the mag well). So I guess what I'm taking the long way of saying is that perhaps the solution to your problem is as simple as a good cleaning & lube and a little patience during break-in? I know you've probably already done that and I don't mean to sound condescending (and I hope you'll forgive me if I do), but I don't want to overlook the obvious. įinally, although I'm wishy-washy as to whether I actually agree with this or not, the "de facto" rule about a new pistol is that there is a 200rd break-in period required (not all at one range session, but preferably 50rds/session). There's a bunch of packing grease and crud all over a new pistol, and it is never as dirty as it is brand new, contradictory though that may seem. With regard to whether or not I do anything different, the only thing I can possibly think of is that when I bring a new pistol home, the first thing I do-after reading the Owners Manual-is clean it, and I know not everyone does that. a burr in a critical area that needs to be polished out). did I just get lucky twice and end up with "one of the good ones" from the factory, or do I do something different to my guns to make them work correctly? Or the third possibility (the most likely), maybe Para produces quality guns in general, but like most manufacturers a few slip through with an imperfection somewhere (e.g. Nevertheless, when I pull the trigger they go bang, the old spent case is extracted and ejected, the new round is loaded, and there's a nice trigger reset every time. I am a casual 1911 shooter, so neither has been abused or tortured. The P-14/45 Limited (FYI, a pre-PXT model) has had zero issues.
I can live with that it has run 100% reliable ever since. The LTC stovepiped once, during the first magazine fresh out of the box. It amazes me when I hear reports of people having problems with Paras (honestly). I own two Paras, a Stainless LTC and a stainless P-14/45 Limited. Just try to run a couple hundred more rounds through it and see if the problems persist before taking any action. There are factory STI pistols that need the same type of tuning and attention to run 100% - you are not alone. You did not buy a bad pistol, just one that requires more attention than others. Factory trigger pulls on Para's are usually heavy so it doesn't surprise me that 7-8# is what you have. The trigger needs to be re-fit, then, you can ask for a trigger job to reduce the pull, etc. If there are inconsistencies, you are looking at the possibility of the grip actually tangling up with the bow causing it not reset the tab/ears of the grip that fit into the cut next to the grip safety is depressed when you grip the firearm. The trigger not resetting could be from an abnormality in the size of the trigger bow when it was fitted/installed. Factory ammo that will work well are Win White Box, Fed AM Eagle and Fiocchi. FMJ to any other style bullet based on the fact that they will always feed better. The 45ACP ammunition you are shooting should have a COAL of 1.250" or longer if you have the ability to reload. The details are lengthy so I will go straight to troubleshooting. The one constant problem with Para widebodies (and any other widebody 1911 for that matter) is magazine issues and ammunition selection. Option (2) is when drastic measures are required - I do however, believe that an extended ejector will help greatly. Option (1) has worked with the Para 45's I have played with. (2) Replace the PXT with a standard extractor via an EGW stainless steel insert welded in the extractor tunnel to fill up the excess space.
Two ways to fix this: (1) Have an extended ejector fitted to the frame, this solves most issues on a PXT 45ACP. It is at this point where you will experience the FTE. You can imagine if you had a smaller cartridge say a 9mm or 40s&w. The problem lies in its ability to continue to hold on to the case even when pulling it back against the ejector. The Power Extractor or PXT is very large with Para's claim to fame being 50% larger than the competition. First, the Power Extractor (hence the PX or SX designation) is somewhat troublesome, though it is somewhat minimized in the 45ACP. PX or SX somewhere in the model number? If so, there are a few things to note.
