That was a cool read.
When I was talking to a buddy of mine that used to be a North Attleboro cop. He said that Para came when they were looking at changing pistols.
He said that the Para Rep did just about all those tests. He said that he had several buckets filled with dirt, sand, mud, water, ect...
He said that the Para guy would dunk them in the dirt, then water, then sand, then mud, then water, then dirt again over and over. Never cleaning the guns, and just shoving more and more Para mags into the P-14.45 LDA.
Never once did he say that the guns had a FTF or FTE.
That's why he said that they all carry Para's now.
One of the reasons that I've always loved them. I've found everyone of mine to be very reliable.
