I just returned from the range with my Para-Ordnance Carry 12 .45 ACP pistol (stainless steel, night sights, etc), I purchased it a few months ago… It did not work new out of the box, to the point where it required the replacement of many internal parts and the tweaking of a number of other parts (it would jam, misfeed, fail to feed, fail to eject, etc) and I had no choice but to send it back to the manufacturer within the first week of my having bought the thing. To their credit the manufacturer did refund the SIXTY FIVE dollar shipping fee that it cost for me to ship the weapon back to them UPS Next Day Air.
I had fired about 200 rounds through it and they told me I would need to fire at least 200-300 more through it to get it “broken in” and working properly… I tried twice more to fire rounds through it and after the first time (I tried about 50 rounds this time) where it jammed every third or fourth round, I gave up…
Today I tried again… I fired about 150 rounds with mixed success and then began my last batch of 50 rounds (by the way, I am using Winchester new production .45 ACP FMJ and I have used Remington UMC, and Federal JHP rounds, none of them work, by the way) and this is hat happened…
The weapon jammed FIFTY times in a row (I counted out the rounds). Regardless of which factory provided magazine I used, it failed to eject, the slide caught back about half-way, and a new round was shoved forward… I would drop the magazine and at this time a live round also fell out, and then when I fully worked the slide (manually) a spent casing would eject. It did this FIFTY times in a row.
If Para-Ordnance does not give me a full refund of my purchase price or a new gun (that had better work flawlessly out of the box) I will be going back to the range and getting a video of how well their product works, at which time I will post the footage on youtube. I also plan to tell the merchant that due to the discovery of a defect in the product that was unable to be determined through typical inspection, I revoke my acceptance and am requesting a return of my money due to the non-conformity of the gun.
This is what I get for buying a Canadian pistol... Never buy a weapon from a nation that has never won a war, let alone fought one on their own...
I am going to stick to Eastern European firearms, such as the time-tested and true AK-47s from Bulgaria, Russia, Poland, and the former Yugoslavia.
