Default New Para Expert Commander
Well I've read good and bad about Para Ordnance(Para USA). Mostly good lately.
I've seen a few very good ones lately so taking the plunge.
Should have a new Para Expert Commander in my hands on Wed so I'll post pics when I get it and at least a brief range report the following week. This will be a carry weapon so I won't be tuning the trigger like I usually do on 1911's. Maybe a bit of smoothing and eliminating any creep if there is any, all this is yet to be determined.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Yes, I'll be interested in the range report myself. I've not trusted para anything since they moved their operation to NC.

I did look at the Warthog but it's a bit smaller than I was looking for if I remember correctly. That one has the 3" barrel, doesn't it?

This could be a situation like Auto Ordnance, pre Kahr and post Kahr. I have no experience pre Kahr but have heard nothing but bad. Post Kahr, I do have one and it's been a great shooter.
So we'll see, looks like I won't be able to make it to the range until next week but that will be the latest.

I have always been drawn in by the Black Ops double stack model. Just can't get myself to take the chance. Hope you get a great one!
