Maybe you can help this brother out?
Get outta here with that 45ACP. 22LR or bust /
If you want a Para product, get one from before 2012. In 2012 they got bought by Freedom Group/Remington and their quality on ALL their products took a massive nosedive. Remington had what used to be Para make the disastrous RP9 and R51 pistols.
What spktyr says is true, the best Paras in my opinion are the ones made in Canada before they moved to North Carolina.
If you are looking for a good carry gun, find a C-6 or a C-7 with an LDA trigger.
Probably OK but I would rather have a Colt Commander.
I bought a used one in 1989 with a electroless nickel finish. I think that is what they called it. Anyway it had a bit of rust on the grip, especially the grip safety.
To my surprise, it all wiped right off with an oily rag. One of those I really wish I had kept.
Keyword “Banglist” added to reach the FR shooting community.
I’ve had several Para guns. All have been reliable and good shooters.
Get good magazines and enjoy.
I have a P12 I bought around 2000. I like it.
I’ve been carrying one for seven or eight years. Very satisfied with it.
Thanks to everyone.
I have one. I had to send it back to Para to have the rear sights fixed. They were loose. That issue popped up after the first 50 rounds. No problems since. Only about 300 rounds through it so far. It functions just fine. I think the screws on the grips are different from most brands. Not placement, but size or thread pitch. Can’t recall off the top of my head.
Did a quick search with your exact wording and found articles about a number of the Para guns....
