I,m new in this forum, can you guys give me feedback on the performance of a para p16.40. I plan to buy one, is it any good?

Thanks.

My IPSC Standard division pistol is a stock Para P16-40 and for Production Division I use the Para P18-9 LDA. I have no complaints.

Eye Cutter, how many guns do you have? I think I've read you write about 6? 7? 8?

Maybe you can run a seminar someday : how Healthcare Professionals Can Use Guns for Relaxation and Self-Defense.

I'm serious. In 3 years the budget deficit and other economic problems of the Philippines will inevitably result in a significant reduction of public services, including the police (such as they are).

I will be in touch with you in a couple of years.

ante: it's a hobby. the collection is never complete, there's always one more thing to get! ;f hahaha. Very expensive hobby we have, really!

in 3 years time, i may not be here in the islands anymore, also! ;e

Eye Cutter, you're doing the right thing! Go to the States, make a bundle, buy all those Korths and Les Baers and .45acp Lugers. Then come back and set up a first-class gunrange behind your hospital.

Hey Ante, join ka dun sa other glock forum.
Your political views would make an interesting discussion

Allegra -What other glock forum? Do you have a link?

Yes it's good as long as you change some of the parts. Most of the parts in my case, but the major parts (frame, slide, barrel) are still para and i haven't had any problems with them.

;F to the BOG.

Thanks batangueno for the reply. What parts should i change? Plan to use it kasi for our club shoots. By the way, i'm batangueno also, from taal.

[batangueno]

Kabayan, are you planning of getting the Limited or the regular one, familiar lang kasi ako sa regular. If you have the regular, the first thing to go is the mag release, plastic kasi yung stock. Actually, good to go na 'yon after that. If you want to have a trigger job (lighten the pull), i suggest you replace the hammer, sear and disconnector. Tapos replace na lang yung other parts when they break or when you get the urge. ;f

My family (father side) comes from Talisay and Agoncillo. Si Doctabako from Balayan.

Dre, personal opinion ko lang 'to and merely suggesting, so take it FWIW. If the unit you get runs out-of-the box, hintayin mo na lang mabiyak yung mga parts before replacing them. I've personally seem some brand new paras needing only minor touches and konti'ng polishing sa barrel/chamber areas and it ran fine. That way 'di ka masyado mapa-gastos ng malaki. Bala na lang bilhin mo instead.



Wag mo tularan yang iba dyan kinakalikot yung baril kahit wala namang problema. ;f;f

72K na pala P16-40 in Blue. 80k yung stainless sa trust trade. I know batangueno got his Para for 36k way back in 1997!

Thanks for the advice. I got the standard para p16 for 56K, brand new, sa isang gun store, pero one mag only. Batangeno, Doktbako, and Tigra, thanks for welcoming me. Actually bago pa lang ako pumuputok and my norinco government is still with the gun shop of the late jimmy febre, pinabihisan ko. Laspagin ko muna yung para p16 ko bago ko bihisan.

[jojo_G19]

i have a p16-40 limited. the only thing that i change is the frontsight and the trigger, and also i have added the magwell. fired 20,000+ rounds already with it(all lead), wala pa naman akong nakikitang problem na lumalabas other than sa crack sa magwell na pinagawa ko. and ung ejector just broke pala lasy sunday - naputol, only because nabasagan ako nang shell dahil saguro sa old age nang mga shells ko.

over all, its a great gun.;Q

anyway, if u are going to buy one, i suggest magassemble ka nlang, it would be cheaper in the longrun and mapipili mo pa parts na ilalagay mo, rather than bibili ka nang buo and change those parts na ayaw mo.

nyak... nakabili ka na pala.. hehehe
im sure u will enjoy ur para....;z
