This is one of the Para Ordnance line of 1911
platforms and is a very nice handling and shooting
gun. It had some problems with FTE's early on and
had been bought as a used gun. It was eventually
discovered that the old extractor which was cast
- had lost much of its claw!! A replacement with
a quality ''bulletproof'' version solved the troubles
and it ran well.
It was quite mag' sensitive also and changing to
Wolff plus 10% springs helped, although two mags
were actually inferior after market specimens and
were never quite right. The gun was part traded
in order to aquire a little used SIG 228.
