Para Ordanance P 10 problem
I purchased a P10 some years ago after reading the glowing review in a gun magazine. It's what I was looking for, as far as size and capacity, in a compact .45. It had a feeding/jamming problem right out of the box regardless of the type of ammo used. After much hassle (they weren't friendly to work with) I returned it to Para for some work. After getting it back the problem was still there. It was so difficult working with Para Ordanance I decided not to deal with them again. The pistol is basically an 800.00 paper weight at this time. I will not use it nor will I sell it and pass the problem on.
Has anyone had this problem? If so can you tell me if you ever solved it either through Para Ordanance or through personal channels. I do like the design of the pistol but would never rely on it for anything more than what I would use a rock for. Thank you.

Hi welcome to the forum. First a few questions...are you using factory ammo or reloads?...have you tried different magazines? Sounds like magazine or ramp issue. If it will not feed ball ammo there is a definite problem that Para Ordnance should fix. Can you explain a little futher exactly how the ammo is jammed? It could be a ramp issue too. 0 -
There are multiple steps in the functioning of any semiauto and a failure during any one of these leaves things in a predictable condition.
Without a detailed description of this 'feeding/jamming problem' you have you're going to blow through the 10 response limit here with people simply scatter shooting wild guesses.
Precisely what condition the pistol/empty case/ammunition consistently ends up in is necessary in order for folks to even begin offering a diagnosis.0 -
Hello I am NOT a gunsmith by trade but if you can find one near you that builds/modifies Pistols for IDPA or BULLS-EYE matches and has a test range on site he should be able to resolve your problem. Manufactures normally do very little as far as testing for function more the one or two rounds and many times only test by cycling Dummy rounds not live fire. What state do you live in[?] I may be able to suggest someone. 0 -
Have you had another shooter, a more experienced shooter, test fire the weapon with factory ammo? Those little 1911's are tough to shoot unless you are locked down tight, wrist, elbow etc. Have another shooter fire the weapon and then get back to us. 0 -
Any short barrel 1911 will be finiky about what ammo it will feed.
Have you tried ball ammmo in it? What about having someone else try it, as asked above?
I'd take it to a good 1911 'smith and have it looked at.0
