ParaGunner

Thanks Brian, 7.02 average for part 1. Pm sent for part 2.

When I shot open years ago, I had a Caspian 38s open gun. I ran a 8lbs recoil spring,18lbs ms and a shock buff. The shock buff always looked brand new, I never replaced the buff.

Wilson and mecgar mags

I use the Factory adjustable rear sight with a Dawson fiber front sight. You could just get a thinner front sight.

Been using it for years and will not use anything else.

Try slide glide lite. I had a custom Caspian open gun that was tight and I shot a match in cold heavy rain with the pistol lubed with it and had 0 problems.

I like this older style para magwell,it seems to force my hand higher on the pistol for a better grip. I have a ice magwell on my para,but I might order one of these older ones just to have. I have 2 P16's, so I'm always looking for spare Para specific parts to buy.

I've been using 200grn acme hyteck coated bullets with 4.8 grns of autocomp at 1.18 oal,soft and accurate. Never tried 220 GRN bullets.

Why not just try and see if they work?

I had the same trigger reset problem with a fully loaded para mag. Solved it by stoning the trigger track inside the frame. 0 problems since.
