my new 1911

Post by amiles87 on Tue Jul 13, 2010 10:02 pm

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.

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

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.

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'.
