Just waiting on breakfast, so here's my Para experience:

Traded into one of the original wide-frame 1911s.

Unimpressive after a series of minor glitches; annoyingly inaccurate; too big to fit my hand.

Did make a great 'trade-it-for-something-I-really-liked' platform.

None of their little package 45s fit my hand very well either. Don't like the balance or configuration of them.

Hard to understand my general dislike for them. I like their features & their ads.

Don't even look at them in the shops these days.
