Well, after almost 8 months of being ignored by George Wedge, it looks like Para is going to try to make things right.
Your post convinced me to head over to a 1911 web forum, where I posted an open letter to George about my problems. He replied within a few minutes and said he's going to arrange for a replacement pistol next week.
George also mentioned that the Toronto facility (which includes manufacturing) is moving to a new facility here in North Carolina. I'm hopeful the new facility might have better QC and manufacturing proceses.
I'll update my other thread and will hopefully post a range report shortly.
