Some Para Goodness

I was at my local Gun Shop looking for a new toy ( actually a Springfield Operator ). When I spotted a Para LTC so I handle the Para then set it down and got ready to walk out the door. When the owner said hay you like that Para I said yeah then he said 600 bucks and it's yours so I say 600 out the door he said yes anyway here's a picture.

Yep!! good score!! Got to love them 1911s!!!!!!!!!!

That's pretty sweet! Is it full length grip or officer's?

Thats a nice gun. What is the para-cord thing? Some type of pace counter?

Is that the LDA action or a standard single action? Nice looking gun.

Thanks, thats right they are Pace beads or Klick beads. The bottom nine beads represented 100 meters each and the top five beads represented 1,000 meters each.
