My general disclaimer is that others I have spoken with re: P13s have had favorable opinions on them. In fact, the majority (3 out of 5) did like them, but one of them bought used and had a smith work on it.
I do not like them.
The P13 (standard, not limited) was the first pistol I bought and to my dismay it would literally malfunction on each magazine. Stovepipes on live rounds, failures to feed, failures to eject, you name it, it did it. Was still doing it when I traded it after over 1K rounds.All three magazines were NEW.
Within 200 rounds, the rear sight fell off. The bluing was also flaking near the ejection port about the size of a dime.
Many a night was spent that I would pull out my first pistol and look at it with remorse. I knew I had to trade it. My opinion? The 13 round magazines are EXPENSIVE and a second person already has supported the idea that they are unreliable. If you are just going to stick with the 10round magazines, I would just go for a 7 or 8 round single stack. Additionally, the thin frame is one of the reasons why a 1911 is easy to conceal... you lose this with a double stacked Para. I would avoid these pistols.
Again, this is ONLY 1 person's experience. I'm sure that I got a lemon (3 times over) but one encounter with this was enough for me. No more Paras for this fellow.
If you are stuck on wanting this pistol, I'm sure that between the Para warranty center and a good smith, it will be running like a champ... IF it needs it. You could very well get a great pistol. Good luck.
