What's Up With New Para Ordnance Mags

I just bought a new Para Ordnance mag for my P-12 and it jammed once every ten rounds. (Usually on the last round.) I took it back to the store and exchanged it for another one and the same thing happened. I noticed that the spring on my older Para mag seemed quite a bit stronger. Does anyone know what the hell is going on with PO lately?

  A friend bought a Para single stack LDA piece not too long ago. The mags are pretty heavy, with a polymer follower, but they still suck. I don't know if it's the shape of the lips, the strength of the spring, or a combo of both, but every time I seat a mag in it, the first round slides halfway into the chamber.

  Para springs are really bad. Put some wolff +5 springs in them and they will work fine. Para has long been known for bad springs.

  I bought three for a P14-45, and none of them, and that includes the factory mag, would feed properly. A little work on the feed lips, and they are 100% reliable now, even after many thousands of rounds.
