I`m thinking about either a Para Companion C7.45 LDA or Glock 27. Personally what I don`t like about the Para is it`s SS. I`d have to get it blackened. What I like about it: Thumb safety,slim grip, nice trigger, and it`s .45 acp. What I like about the Glock 27: It`s easy to maintain. ten round vs. 7 What I don`t like about the G27: It`s a bit thick compared to a 1911. No external safeties. Price really isn`t a factor here. I`d appreciate any opinions. Thanx in advance. Bob |
Get the Para. It's a blast to shoot. The chopped mini-Glocks are too thick and too short. |

I also recommend the Para, especially if it will be a carry gun. I just don't trust the Glock enough to carry as protection. The combination of a light trigger, and no ext safety on the Glock is just asking for a problem. I have heard of people shooting them selves in the leg or foot while trying to pull a Glock from a concealed holster. |
Keep your finger out of the trigger guard, as you would do on any gun, and you will be fine. To shoot yourself in the leg or foot you'd have to get your finger inside the triggerguard and pull on the trigger-they don't go off at the slightest tug. A glock does need to be carried in a holster and the holster must cover the trigger area. They are not safe for pocket carry or to tuckinside your belt-but those aren't the greatest ways to carry a gun anyway. |
| Personnaly, I'd go with the Glock, and have to agree with Aimless in regard to drawing and mode of carry. However this question is like comparing apples to oranges, they are two totally different guns. As someone with formal training with revolvers, my main reason for the Glock seems to be Arbob's main reason to lean toward the Para (the external safety, I don't like them). |

The Para LDA. Howzabout the Sig compact .45? Check it out! www.gunnery.net/sig/245.html The one I shot was pretty nice. Tyler |
Is the slide stop hard to press with an empty mag in or without? If it is hard to press with an empty mag in, thats a good thing. It will help remind you if you are trying to drop the slide on an empty mag in a bad situation. It will smooth out a little after while though. The surfaces of the metal will mate and smooth out. Rnage use is a perfect remedy.
