Nice looking pistol.

In 2010 I bought a couple of Para PXT1445s made for the Marines stationed at Camp Leathernect, Afghanistan. I had all kinds of mechanical failures and eventually sent them both back to Para under warranty. About four months they came back with parts replaced. Needless to say I was unhappy that pistols made for Marines were so darn unreliable, pretty yes, reliable no.

I'm now shooting a HK USP 45 and am overjoyed when compared to the Para.

Hopefully you will have better luck than I did. There is no reason for Para to sell unreliable pistols.

I would be curious to know about your accuracy. My Paras were very accurate, when they decided to fire.
