I haven't tried to make a list of them, but the Springfield RO Compact is ramped as well as the Dan Wesson Guardian, at least that is my understanding. My CZ 75 PCR alloys are also. So I think they are out there.

There is no accounting for taste.

Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.

Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

Polished, yes, titanium, no.


Probably a Titanium Nitride coating.

From what I'm seeing, it appears to be a titanium feed ramp. Goofy if you ask me. Solution to what I believe to be a non-existent problem.

Like I said, I have over 9k rounds in mine and there's really no perceptible wear on the feed ramp...if you're still worried after that, then buy a Para. I just don't worry about it, it's not an issue unless someone polishes through the anodizing.



Para does not use ramped barrels on all of their guns, only on some models. The Para Expert series come from Para without a ramped barrel.

Here is what G&A had to say about it.

http://www.gunsandammo.com/first-look/first-look-ruger-sr1911-lightweight-commander/undefined

Ruger has addressed a problem all too common with aluminum-framed pistols by equipping the LW Commander with a polished titanium feed ramp to protect against excessive wear and resulting misfeeds.

You seem rather concerned about this issue, if so then just buy the Ruger or something with a ramped barrel.
