I was offered a gun today for about $650. I havent seen it yet but the guy who offered it to me says that he carried it on duty when he was a cop. He claims it is a dubble stack? Is that right, he also said somthing about preban. Nothing to do with the clinton crap though. Did they accualy make one of those? Could it just be a .38? Also the offer he made was the gun, 2 15rd mags,holster,surefire light, and hard case for 650, what do ya think? I know this was pretty jumbled but Im in a hurry. |
Since about 1988.
Para's, STI's, Bul's, etc. are all double stack .45's & are fairly comfortable unless you have really small hands. These guns have been out for a long time. Where have you guys been??? |
| I personaly like the double stack .45 Para's. Ive been used to shooting HK pistols and next came the XD, none of which have small grips. Ended up buying a Para Ordnance Warthog and to say the least its awsome. Smaller and lighter then my XD9 sub compact, holds the same number of rounds (10), and is a .45 to boot. Cant ask for much more. I did initialy have FTF issues which where fished out to reveal weak mag springs for such a small pistol, but once replaced with Wolff mag springs it runs like a top. IMO the Warthog is hard to beat in size and over all firepower in a CCW.. |

If it was a duty gun I'm going to go ahead and say with 98% certainty it is a Glock 21. It has 13 round mags though. I don't find it likely a dept. would approve a Para for duty carry. If it is a Glock 21, you need to find out what generation it is and what type of Surefire light he is including. If it is a second gen with a cheaper model surefire, it is definitely not worth $650. |
Thanks this must be what he was talking about. I knew para ordance made a doulbe stace and that the first thing I thought of. I had just assumed that the para doulbe stack was new. |

I've got a KZ45 and absolutely love the thing. Guaranteed 1" @ 25 yards-shoots better than I can and eats up anything you put in it. Anyway, at the grip's widest point it is actually thinner than a standard single-stack 1911 grip. The KZ is it's own animal. It does not share any similarities in design with other DS 10 rounders (Kimbers, STI's etc.) Different mags altogether. I had a Kimber polymer 10 rounder and sold it for the KZ. No comparison. You get what you pay for. Good stuff. And no, it wouldn't be going for $650. |
Kimber isn’t exactly a ghetto special though. I have pretty long fingers so I really like the wider body. Old frame made in Israel. |
