Re: Para Ordnance Pistols
I have a P14.45 I picked up new through a friend a few years ago. It's a limited edition, with a light rail and night sights. Not my favorite pistol. Overall fit and finish is OK, but they skimped on certain parts. Plastic beavertail and trigger to start. They also sent it with the wrong rear sight as it's too tall causing it to hit 3" high at 15 yds. The pistol functions well, no malfunctions, but I only have about 800 rounds through it. I'm just glad I got it at a hell of a deal.
If you're going to get one, make sure you look it over hard at the dealer before you lay down the cash.
Para customer service, on the entry, is good but they still have one of my weapons, a Para TTR I sent them for service 10 weeks ago. It's hard to get a hold of the rep if at all, and they won't return emails. The last I heard from them was 3 1/2 weeks ago saying their service times were running 5-7 weeks turnaround. I'm overseas and won't be home again for another month, so I'm just hoping it's back by then. They were really quick to take back the weapon for the service though, and they now have a full lifetime guarantee on their weapons so at least I'm not paying for anything.
Maybe others are fans of them and have good experiences, but I'm not one of them.
