| Just curious what your experience has been so far.... thanks! |

Picked one up for 3 gun last year, love it. 2 of my friends picked them up at the same time and are also very satisfied.
Had the chance to shoot an sti edge the previous year. I cant see the difference in price tag. Accuracy is awesome (improved my pistol game overnight), trigger was excellent without any tweaking, sights are good to go and it runs like a top with anything I put in it. its out of the box ready for gaming. Grip is fairly fat, so if you have smallish hands you may want to install a larger mag release. The only issue now is making sure you can get enough mags for them, since the para pro shop is dead. |

Thanks. Just got back from vacation or would have responded earlier.
The mag issue is ... an issue... ha, ha. I've got a couple of STI 140's that latch in and feed dummy rounds ok if you gently insert them. However if you are even a little aggressive the mag goes in too far and won't drop free. |

I had the same issue when I tried to use STI mags... had to use a dowel and mallet to get them out.
SPS has 23 rounder's with plastic base pads for around 60 bucks and aluminum base pads for 80. I'll have to pick up a few to try out, the extra 5 rounds would be very helpful. I may move up to an STI in a couple years but you cant go wrong at the price point for the Para. |

I picked up a couple of SPS mags.
They latch in more solidly than the STI mags and feed fine. I was able to get the STI mags to work by sanding down the top of the mag a bit where the interference was taking place. Didn't take much. However there is not a good match between the latch and the mag body cutout. Quite a bit of movement is possible. Rather sloppy actually. They feed ok and do drop free now but I think the SPS are a better match. |
