The KJW Para suffers from a design flaw. A spring critical to the functioning of the blowback needs to be modified to assure proper operation. In the stock form, it has too much preload. The Para is closely based on the WA trigger mechanism which can be tuned for shorter trigger pull, but is not as robustly designed as the Hicapa which is not as easily tuned, but is more reliable.

TM also heavily chrome plates it's trigger components. While this looks pretty, I suspect they do this for lubricity. The smooth chrome finish slides very well so I suspect that the Hicapa can be tuned for a lighter trigger pull than the Para (less friction to fight). There's also less stiction (sticking friction) which is a bit of an issue with the WA trigger design.
