I have a question here. What is the average mean time between failures, and lifetime for a frame. I realize some would surpass that, but some wouldn't. I'm thinking the Military standards here. QC on these is stringent. I know the military 1911's where not as tight as competition 1911's I'm just looking for standard for comparison.
Another thumbs DOWN for PARA!!!!!
Some time back ya'll may recall I sent my Para 14-45 1911 back to Para for factory Tritium night sights....after numerous phone calls and 4 months later, I got it back.... shot it shortly after getting it back, then stored it. Shot it again on Memorial Day, cleaned, then stored again.... was thinking about it tonight and how tight/hard the recoil spring still is on the gun and decided to rack the slide and leave it open to "work" the spring overnight.... I was looking at it in a 1/2 dim room, and noticed how bright the 2 rear sights were...and how dim front sight....what front sight...the little tritium dot has fallen out!!!!! *(^&*^%&*&*()^^%^^&)(*&*%$%^$^^*()&*(&*^%&*&)(*()*(*^&*&)(**&)(&
