Almost decided on 1911

[Blue]

Why is it that most people that dislike Paras haven't owned one. I just bought a S14-45 Limited(2 more dros days left) ... mainly to use these pre-ban 14rd mags that have been sitting in my safe for tooo many years. I hope I enjoy it because I sure did spend alot on it and could have got alot of different single stack options for my money.

Because they're made in Canada

LOL I don't know why they dislike them. I've shot another members here, it was a double action 1911 and was INCREDIBLY nice. Very weird feeling shooting it though lol. Once the DA awkwardness subsided I really liked it. I'd consider a Para if I was in the market for another 1911.

FWIW, I owed two and I'm in no hurry to ever look at them again. Not that they were bad, they just weren't that good.

Yeah I don't care for double action 1911's thats why I got the S14-45

Double or single action? Double or single stack mags?

It kinda sucks ... because if it weren't for the double stack feature..... I would have bought a Springfield Loaded or TRP or tried to find a Kimber series 1.

Ohh well you have to own more than one 1911 anyway right??

Single Action, Double Stack...P12 and a P13...

My first 1911 is a springfield V12 loaded that I picked up for $455.00 used.

I am very happy with the purchase, as it showed little to no where.
All the 1911's I have now have been purchased used, some more than others.
I would look for a used one definitely, where you may be able to pick it up for less cost with extras.

Good luck!

I dont know what all that hate is about other than the paint on finish. Kimber uses MIM parts just like parra. And the dba triggers blew be away but I dont need one of thoes. I just cant see the price varration between 1911s, its 100 year old tecknology for Gods sake. Im not trying to justify this to myself, but I just want a nice tight shooter and the pride of ownership that a 1911 brings.
