I just had the shop near me order a couple he didn't even know they came out. When he gets them in I'm going to go take a look he said they will be $500.

You won't have to concern yourself w/90 clams "power" extractor so I'd consider that a plus.

Thanks GatorFarmer. That link answered some questions I had about the Para 45. Worth reading if you're looking for your first 45 like I am.

Just ordered one to keep my 686 company, also my dad just gave me his 1950's Colt Woodsman so that will be a nice addition. I'll be picking up the Para in the next few weeks so I'll be sure to get some photos up then. Shoot safe and shoot often...
