I am thinking about getting one of these frames from Sarco . Getting different info about Para frames, some cast some forged and different finishes. It is cut for ramped barrel. What are those goofy dots in front of slide stop? Anyone try one of these?  " />

Paras Quailty was iffy on a good day. I would pass. I have done a few builds on 1911's. Alot of work, when the smoke clears , you have that dream gun you pictured. The gun isn't worth much because you built it from parts. And you ain't a big name smith. And last when you sit down with a paper and pencil and add up cost and time , you could have just bought a Nighthawk Custom. Been there , Done that, And got the t shirt! |

I drop in here every so often to see what if happening....I dont own a Para, but I did at one time, a Para P12, steel frame, 1995-1997 time frame, was an outstanidng pistol, was flawless....the one pistol I regret selling I hear some many so-so stories about Para's, but mine was perfect Bronc |
When I was once asked to explain the concept of entropy....I paused and said: "You can't unscramble an egg...."

I purchased one and it shipped quickly, I have $161 in it. Not looking for a high end dream gun and will have nowhere near Nighthawk prices in this pistol. It is well machined with a nice finish. Unlike the $360 Caspian I ordered I can find no casting marks. Should have about $650 in it. Waiting on hammer, sear and disconnect from Cylinder and Slide to finish assembly.  " />

| i just finished my build -- a Springfield 3 1/2 inch V-10 45 ACP Stainless Steel slide on top of the Para Ordnance Commander length frame. I changed the slide to a Para Ordnance Warthog frame. Don't worry the commander frame will getting it's own slide. |
