Bought a Para LDA CCO gently used for $575. It looked brand new and I think I know why. The magazines misfeed every time you use them. On the last round the round would flip up during feeding and either jam against the face of the chamber or sometimes flip straight up so that the slide would slam shut on the side of the round while the bullet was sticking out of the ejection port. This happened with 3 different kinds of HP AND 3 different kinds of ball ammo. Ball ammo! Everything is supposed to feed ball ammo! The gun came with 2 mags and both did it. Talked to the guys at the range about it and they handed me a wilson mag. Problem solved. Not a single misfeed with the wilson mag.
And no, I haven't had a chance to call Para yet. I just tried the Wilson mag today. But I'll be giving them a call on Mon morning.
I'd heard that Para mags could be problematic but this is ridiculous. Is this level of malfunction common in their weapons? I like the feel of the LDA action and overall feel of the weapon but I just couldn't bring myself to buy another one if this kind of thing is a persistant issue.
