Ok... so i have a Para 1911
never had any issues with the gun. only minor issue is that one of the para mags wouldnt hold the slide open after the last round...
Now... the concern...
about a month ago i cleaned it and after a deep cleaning and oil, i re assembled it, slide fine, mag insert/release fine, hammer, trigger all fine.
yet i noticed that the thumb safety seem... stiff... harder to release then i remembered. took it back appart and back together and same thing...
Now, yesterday at the range, both my para mags wouldnt hold the slide after the last round... so now im a little concerned... it shot fine, cycled and was smooth... so just wondering if the mag is just crappy para mags and the safety is just my own "para"noia.
any thoughts (and yes, i expect the typical para bashing... but in all honesty, i love to shoot this gun)
