I'm looking for input from you guys. I had a double stack Para a number of years ago, should never have sold it. Borrowed the same model Para, and a Kimber single stack (both in .40) from a friend and my GOD that Kimber just hit every damn thing I pointed it at and ran like a typewriter. Other than owning that one Para, I've only ever shot a half dozen or so over the years.

Not looking for a competition type gun, or a bottom rung budget either. Decent sights (or ability to drift in new) and reliability is what I'm looking for. Not looking to pro/con the argument as to what is good and bad about the platform in general. I don't care to rehash the old bullchit.


Brand/model recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks


Let me help. 1911Forum-----Kimber------ topic "MCSCCOM Det1, Kimber 45" The topic is from 2005, but a fellow from NC who posted recently wants to sell U.S. Military Property USMC Kimber .45ACP. I would look into that if I were you. I mean, they would not make a pistol for recon commandos that was not reliable, right? It is old school commando not having a rail, but that is what many old guys like, no rail.
