I am building a double stack 10mm in a para frame, im having problems sourcing magazines. Some main questions are...
1.) Will the Para 40sw mag work?
2.) Will the Armscor 10mm mags fit a para frame?
3.) Any suggestions?

Para 40 S&W mags will work fine.  I once converted a P-16 to 10mm with a BarSto barrel.  The better option, however, is to swap the magazine catch with an STI mag catch and use STI pattern magazines.

Eta- the RIA magazines for 10mm/40 S&W will work also as tge RIA double stack is a copy of the Para.

Why not use an STI frame?

I used to shoot IPSC with a guy who shot a 10mm Para build gun.  He used .45acp Para mags successfully.

Mec gar para mags will work if you don't have a magwell.

I was told the Para mags would work so I ordered some. They did NOT work.

So I went with Rock Island mags to match the gun. Problem solved.
