On my Para 1640 LDA ltd. It has the stupid series 80 junk that blocks the firing pin. Occasionally in speed shooting I keep getting light strike misfires which I suspect may be due to me shifting my grip slightly to get better access to the mag release button which results in me not pressing the grip safety fully down tight. The gun drops the hammer and the round does not fire. The primer shows a very wimpy imprint. Most of the time, the imprints are normal. This is a very rare thing, but extremely annoying.
FIRST: this dumb gun has some kind of "slide lock" that locks the slide in battery position unless the grip safety is depressed. I have noticed it won't release the slide unless I hold the grip safety tightly.
SECOND: any way to easily fix the grip safety so it depresses the internals better and doesn't require a death grip?
THIRD: any way to easily defeat the series 80 crap? I know on Kimbers you can install a series 70 firing pin and that eliminates the blocking function and their light strike misfires which I suspect are similar in nature to mine.
This gun is an LDA and the internals are more complicated than a Swiss watch, so I am not confident in fixing it. Just wondering if you have any experience with this problem.
Thanks.
