ok, so my para P14 is having a slide release issue (in addition to the safety issue related elsewhere)
Didn't have this problem until I started shooting it suppressed
The slide release is working itself out just enough during shooting that it won't hold the slide open on the last round.It is barely noticeable when looking at it, but upon closer inspection it is obvious what is happening.
This got me to wondering, if there is some pressure outward on the slide release, it could pop out of the notch when the slide recoils past the notch. Also, the notch is a lot larger than on my Colts, which would allow it to pop out easier.
1: Could the magazine cause this?
2: Maybe a poorly fitted slide release?
3: PARAs are just junk?
Thanks,
Johnny C
