Can't we do something about it? (Talking like I own a para. I would love to but at this stage i don't) Show me what you've done with yours.

I'm really sorry to jack this thread, but I am about to buy 3 Para's in the exact same config (only with my agency's stuff engraved instead) -- a single stack .45, a double stack .45, and a double stack .40.

What do you think of that particular model?

Although it seems movie makers are loving the Para's these days. Well for the last couple of years to be exact. Can't turn my head without seeing one in a movie.

Many moons ago, I found one of the frame kits with a Springfield Armory slide & barrel. I didn't know any better, but I picked it up and it was my first ever pistol purchase for $400 or so. Well, it sat around and did nothing until I sent it off to Springfield Custom Shop for tweaking and refinishing.

It's a gorgeous, heavy beast of a pistol.
