[Para 16 40 Pro Custom Mag issue]

Please do! I'm currently waiting on some replacement mags myself, and would rather install a catch that has more shelf engagement than have four bent up mags

[Para 16 40 Pro Custom Mag issue]

Problem temporarily solved. Massaged the upper ledge on the mag outward and toward the catch, polished up the edhe a bit and cant pull the mag out to save my life. Will try it with the weight of a full mag at the range and update.

Or maybe I'll just bend the mag ever so slightly. It's useless as is, couldn't hurt anything.

[Para 16 40 Pro Custom Mag issue]

Hello All,

Just picked up a 16 40 PC and have taken it to the range twice in as many days. 250 rds down the tube, one of two mags is falling out under recoil. The para mag fit to frame is sloppy on both mags to say the least, but they measure within .001" of each other at the mag catch slot. I can insert an empty mag, hear and feel the catch positively engage, and can pull the mag from the base plate out of the gun. Examining the mag catch and the witness marks on the shelf reveal only a few thousandths of engagement with the magazine. Deductive reasoning has led me to the following:

- Its possible replacing the mag catch might get me one with a few more thousandths of shelf to engage the mag slot.

-Its possible the catch is not fully seating in the bore on the left hand side of the frame and cutting the stop back (on the catch) a few thou on the catch may do the trick.

-the mag catch bore was drilled a few thou too shallow where the catch bottoms in the bore on the left hand side of the frame.

Would appreciate any feedback on this issue.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

What did you find? Thanks in advance!

[Question about first match]

Guys, Ive never had so many great replies to a thread anytime, anywhere! Thanks for all the valuable info! Due to my current parental responsibilities, it looks like Ill be going to the F'Burg and North Mountain shoots the most. Ill start by attending a match and practicing safety. Maybe I'll see everyone at the Area 8 championship next year

[Question about first match]

Just found a match per month either at Quantico or Strasburg, much closer, cheaper, and convenient. Good call everyone!

[Question about first match]

Sage advice all! Attending a match prior might just be in my best interest.

[Question about first match]

Hello all, about to pull the trigger on a USPSA annual membership, and it looks like the first match I'll be able to attend is the area 8 district championship in PA. As an unclassified shooter in the limited division shooting major pf, would I be able to just show up and shoot? Would it be a bad idea? Anything else I should consider before signing up? Thanks in advance!

Welcome aboard

Sounds like a great plan - nice gun.

Have you started reloading, yet?

I have, however not for .40 yet. I only have a single stage press so for now I'm planning on buying ammo. Sucks that freedom munitions stuff doesn't always make major pf, not sure where to go for the most affordable ammo at this time. I can't justify a Dillon just yet but I have at least a thousand once fired cases. Decisions, decisions.
