zipper046 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Just thought I'd post....an older Canadian built P16-40. Changed hands a few times...had some work done: trigger job, tri-topped slide, fiber optic front, new adjustable rear, fitted Ed Brown bushing. Took her out for a spin today after sitting in the safe for awhile (went back to Glocks for a bit).... She shoot's lights out with my reloads (180 grain Berrys, 5.3gr's UNIQUE, 1.135" OAL).....1" and sub-1" groups at 50 feet (16 yards - max indoor range distance). Love the size and weight. Have a new STI Eagle, custom built that just arrived...so will have to compare and see which becomes #1 and which becomes backup...

dogtired Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It would be hard to imagine the Eagle in 2nd place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARD72977 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I had one. Sold it. Now I regret that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCH Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I bought one about a year ago after shooting a Glock for a year and a half. I think the Para has jammed twice, and both times it was an oversized reload. I honestly don't know why people knock the Para so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash74 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I finally got to shoot my new Pro Custom 16.40 this afternoon. I did not experience any malfunctions with SPS 140mm, stock, or modified mags for a RIA 2011. My one complaint is the grip is huge. I was throwing everything low and left. It is going to take me a while to get used to it. I grabbed my M&P 40 Pro that I have been using for limited and was dead on. On the M&P I use the small insert so the huge grip of the Para is challenging for me. The big plus is the Para weighs 12oz more than the M&P and shot so much softer. I have a match tomorrow to ring out the Para. Hopefully everything goes well and I will have good report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
