Your Para is an 80 series pistol, it has a firing pin block that cannot be bipassed unless the trigger is in the rearward position. When reassembling it, could you have left the firing pin in the foreward position after inserting the firing pin stop? Also, some of the Para's had a tendency to have the firing pin stick in the foreward position if fired on an empty chamber. Take the slide off, depress the firing pin safety, push the firing pin all the way in, release the firing pin. If it didn't stick you're good to go on that issue.

OK, check if the firing pin sticks in the foreward position. This is an 80's series pistol, it has a firing pin block, unless the trigger is in the rearward position the firing pin is blocked. Check the free travel of the firing pin through the firing pin stop, check if the firing pin stop is overly loose and may have dropped down trapping the firing pin in the foreward position,. there are many reasons for this malfunction, all minor. First call Para and tell them what's going on, the pistol is under warranty!

Single stack mags, like the 1911 mags, last a very long time. Double stack pistol mags wear the springs out faster. I rotate my mags every 2-3 weeks when not shooting regularly. I've had the same springs for over 5 years. Anytime your mag doesn't engage the slide stop, replace the spring.
