I PURCHASED A NEW PARA LTC, COMMANDER SIZE, JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. IT RUNS GREAT AND HANDLES GREAT. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THAT ALL THE STAINLESS PARTS, HAMMER, THUMB SAFTEY, GRIP SAFTEY, SLIDE FELEASE, MAG RELEASE, BBL BUSHING, ALL STAINLESS PARTS ARE TARNISHED ALMOST TOTAL BLACK. I HAVE TRIED TO POLISH THEM WITH POLISHING COMPOUNDS TO CLEAN THEM AND HAD NO LUCK. I HAVE HAD A GUN SMITH LOOK AT IT AND HE HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN THE 35 YRS. HE HAS BEEN WORKING ON FIREARMS. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT PARA ORDANANCE SEVERAL TIMES BY EMAIL, PHONE, AND U.S. MAIL WITH NO RESPONSE. I JUST WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT MAY BE CAUSING THIS DISCOLORING. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER STAINLESS 1911'S AND NONE OF THEM SHOW ANY SIGNS OF THIS PROBLEM. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO PAY $200-$375 TO HAVE THESE PARTS REPLACED IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE THE OIL IN MY SKIN BUT IT HASN'T CAUSED ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY OTHER 1911'S.
