The P14 limited I've bought has no problems, only problems it ever had was when i tightened the extractor way too much, then it wouldnt feed the rounds in, but that was my fault.
Other than that, it's been entirely reliable.
As have the other 6 I encouranged my friends to all buy.
I'd use it in USPSA Limited division, but I can't tear myself away from my Open Para 38 super for even one match.
Jamming has never been a problem with correctly loaded rounds.
And as mentioned by earlier posts, yes, replace the mag catch, I replaced the mag catch right away. Gotta get a metal one. Something like 20 bucks from dawson Precision.
Mine also no longer has the factory barrel in it, not for any particular reason other than, i have barrels I've won at Major matches through the years, and felt like actually using one.
Got a nice caspian slide and a bull barrel schuemann barrel sitting around that should find a home on an SVI frame. Then the para 45 will collect dust. But till then, it'll keep shooting at non uspsa action pistol matches, because that's what it does.
It just keeps on shooting.
With arredondo base pads, you've got 18 rounds of 45. NOT TO SHABBY!
Alloy frames you can tell the difference because they are much lighter.
