Hey there I have been considering buying a Para Ordanance Hi-Cap 1911 for a good deal. After having bought my first semi auto M&P .40 I love it and have been wanting to buy a 1911. The problem is all the 1911 .45 I tried, I never found one that I liked. The feel of the gun in my hand was never quite right, not anything that I was completely taken by at least. Then the other day I was in my local firearms shop and somebody showed me the Para Hi-Cap. I immediately realized this gun was for me. There was something different about the feel to the gun that set it aside from the other 1911 models I had tried. So I went home and researched the gun to see what people said about its quality and reliability without much success. The most I found out is that this is a gun that is given to soldiers being deployed. As for reliability and quality there were a number of mixed reviews. Some people raved on and on about how great it is while others were less than satisfied. Although it seemed those that had complaints it had to do with para than the actual pistol. The gun I am looking at buying is the same as in the pic attached. This is not the actual gun I am looking at but just a photo of the same model and color (Sorry for the poor resolution). I was wondering if anyone here has had the opportunity to own one of these or has any experience as to the quality and reliability of the gun or even para in general. Any input would be great thanks.
