I've owned several Para pistols over the years, ranging through the spectrum from P10.45 to P12.45 to P13.45 to P14.45. I shoot a P14.45 in competition (when I stir my stumps to compete), and I keep a P13.45 as my back-up competition pistol. All excellent pistols.

One of my daily carry rotation pistols is a Para Slim Hawg (sub-compact single stack), and I have done some shooting with a GI Expert (the 5" brother of the pistol you're asking about). If they had offered the GI Expert in a Commander size a couple of years ago, when I was shopping for a new gun, I would have bought it in a heartbeat.
