| From SHOT SHOW 2009 |
Now, hit this link to The Firearm Blog to see the "aftermarket" mods that were done to the gun. From the looks of it, the linked pistol has new grips, a new safety, slide stop, grip safety/beavertail, and a full-length guide rod. Definitely sexed the gun up a little bit, if you ask me. The stock ParaUSA GI Expert is pretty vanilla, so it makes an excellent platform for further modification. You can build it up into a real custom blaster, or build it down into a more traditional GI-platform gun. Either way, for $500-600 out of the gate, I'd buy it well before I bought a Taurus for the same price.

Ahhh, I should have noticed it was not stock ... was late and I was tired ;)
I have updated the blog post and thanked you for the correction.
A nice gun to be sure, but nothing a Milspec from Springfield - in the same price bracket - wouldn't do just as well. ;)
It's still a pretty sweet looking gun though, and Adam - I think that's the whole idea. Para's trying to get into the "entry level" 1911 market, which Springfield has their Mil-spec, Taurus has their 1911, etc, but they're going more with a "Taurus" approach and putting some extra features like the Commander hammer, speed trigger, and other doo-dads.
