I've heard a lot about .400 Cor-Bon, most of it good.  I'd actually
really like to get a .400 Cor-Bon barrel for one of my Paras, when I
eventually have disposable income again.  Probably for the P16, get
replacement magazine tubes to convert the magazines, and get a Steyr M40
for .40S&W instead.

(The P16 is nice enough, but it shoots about 6" high with .40 and no
matter what I do, I just can't get it to shoot to point of aim.  If I
can't convert it to .400 Cor-Bon, I'll probably end up selling it and
using the money to buy an M40.)
