Hey guys. Brand new to the site... I was referred here by Drundel over on the SDH board - he said I might get some answers from the vast pools of knowledge over here.
Anyway, here's the situation.... I recently got a Para Ordnance C7.45 (Para Companion) and I've put about 150 rounds through it. Well, last week I noticed that when an empty magazine is in the gun and I pull the slide back, it catches pretty hard on the disassembly notch. The slide will actually lock in place on that notch. But, if there is no clip in there the slide works as it should. I went and pulled a brand new C7.45 from the display case at the store where I bought it and that one does not do this. Also, if I release the empty magazine while the slide is caught on the disassembly notch then the slide will release. What's up with that? I'm concerned that over time this may cause some damage to the gun. Any thoughts? Thanks for any insight you can give me on this.
