i have been wanting to buy a 1911 for some time now. i shot a steel match at magnolia with my walther p22 and decided to up it a little for the next steel shoot and get a 1911. i wound up getting a para 1911 GI Expert from vans for $549 new. let me know what you think.

Im jelous. I really wanted another 1911 when I bought my XD yesterday. nice find.

 

[amiles87]

i was going to buy an xdm .40 but the 1911 was way to tempting to pass up.

Everybody needs at least one 1911. Looks nice, let us know how it shoots.

 

[Joe S.]

SCORE!!

 

[amiles87]

It shoots great. I am very impressed with the quality.

 

[nonnieselman]

it needs to be fed... dont let it go hungry



I got to shoot it this weekend and its pretty smooth and slick on the slide to frame fit.

Dang ! I thought Paras were more than that . . . cool gun .

 

[cottonmouth]

Nice! Isn't this the model that they used for the 10,000 round torture test?

Nice pistol but I'm like Mike, I wouldn't have thought a para could be gotten for that price. Good pull.

 

[slabsides45]

They sell for about that. You can get it a bit cheaper (MAYBE $50 less) on gunbroker if you are willing to wait and go through the hassles, but it's pretty nice to just pay that extra 10% local and walk away.

Good buy, much, much, much, much better than tupperware. Just sayin'.
