Sorta.. Always been around them, never owned one.
Story: Went in my local gun store a few days ago and spied a Para P14 w/a bunch of Wilson's shit on it... Debated buying it, I've wanted a Springfield for a while, but this was a really good deal (600$ 5 Mags - they were asking 850$) I know the guys that work there pretty well, so it was going to be a decent hook up. ONLY thing I don't really like about the gun.. its a p14 high cap. I talked myself into it b/c this is strictly going to be a target pistol for me. I don't need it for CCW or anything else. Fun gun only, so.. I bought it. I would've preferred a single stack, but w/e - didn't work out that way. Couple of questions. 1.) Does ANYONE make decent grips for double stack 1911's 2.) IF I wanted to convert it to a single stack w/a decent frame the slide and everything else is the same for the most part. Correct? Any opinions on a double stack 1911 for the purpose in which I bought it? Sport shooting. |
well.. i do have this one ;)
The Para is a SA... that LDA gun they have can rot. My main reason for buying the double stack PO was the price & the area of use. I'm just going to keep my eye out in the EE and on Gunbroker for a real 1911 of my choosing. This one will be fun for now. |

Quoted:
IMHO, Para's to me don't qualify as being a real 1911. It's a bastard child. A 1911 is single stack, single action, period. 
Anything else is something else and I do not want. Get a real one.  I agree Single stack / Single action Especially the single stack because that's what gives it such a great grip. My hand is smaller so I hate a chubby grip. |
