That makes sense to me.

I was just curious 'cause of the price tag they are asking for these things. $1000+

There have been a lot of updates to the company. Having Travis Tomasie on board has really bumped up the quality...or at least the design. Lots of good parts. IonBond finishes, EGW, Trijicon, VZ, and Ed Brown parts on almost all of there mid to higher end models.

Ive had a Para GI expert for about 4 years now. Have put roughly 5000 rounds thought it, and to be honest the thing runs great. Will shoot a 1 3/4" group at 25 off a rest for me and is a great platform for a project gun if you ask me. But Id honestly just rather buy another Valor.

Here is my Para Gi Expert (fairly modified)

Not bad for a 500 dollar 1911! I've always been pretty proud of that one!

Have a P12 for 20+ years and has always gone bang and as accurate as my Colts, SA, DWs. Keep in pickup lock box as a backup.
