1911 double stack?

Recommended Posts

This is my opinion only, so take it for what you think it's worth but...

 

All the Para 1911' I have held or shot feel kind of cheaply made and rough. I really liked their LDA (light double action) trigger and considered buying one, but I couldn't get past what I considered to be bad quality control.

STI makes a great off the shelf gun. I have owned many and never had an issue w/ any of them. If you want a more custom gun thats a little bit prettier but has the same ergonomics as an STI then go with SVI. You tell SVI how you want your gun and they build it for you. More money and you'll be waiting a few months to a year for your 1911.

 

Para is OK. I have never had any problems with my Para guns and still own a couple today. There are guys that shoot Para in IPSC competition and put close to 100,000 rounds a year on them w/o issue. They are not as refined as the STI/SVI guns and they use MIM parts which may break down sooner then later.

I dont mean to sound like a para basher but... there is a reason that most smiths wont even touch the internals. From the standpoint of a sidarm that your betting your life on, Id reconsider a double stack from anyone. I consider double stack 1911's game guns. Top tier units have tried double stack 1911's from top builders, none have been successful that I know of. They always return to single stack to the point that I dont even know of anyone that tries anymore. I have a Para. But the only thing Para about it at this point is the crappy cast frame and slide. EVERYTHING else has been replaced.

    • So, as I interpret things, you get a hit on #1. It says nothing about feeding from said magazine, just that the magazine attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip. And it is attached. Was this what was considered when it was written? 100% no. However, this is NJ and I don't think they would give you an inch when as written it covers it in plain english.  #2 would be a hard yes if you put a threaded barrel on your setup, so I'd not do that.  #3... well it's not a shroud, but it does allow you to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned. Shroud is ill defined, and it could be argued to partially enshroud the barrel from the bottom. I would bet cash money that the AG would gladly say that second part there is to clarify the intent of the law and that since you can do that, you violated the stated intent of the law. 
    • I don't know why we ( NJ gun organizations ) have not yet filed a lawsuit on "duty to inform"  A clear violation of the constitution 5th and probably 4th.  Maybe this guys lawyer will and get that charge dropped.  what other right do you need to inform a law enforcement officer of.    are you required to identify as a republican or democrat during an encounter, and by the way,  what constitutes an encounter.  voluntary? involuntary?   time to get this one knocked down. come on ANJRPC stop waiting for court decisions and go on the attack.
    • Right, each location will have a different set of Repeater frequencies you can use in your area.  You could also just have 2 sets of CHIRP files ready to go and make sure you have the ability to program them quickly in a SHTF situation.  Maybe dedicate at least one radio for each location with specific programming, and then when you get there you can re-program the radios you take with you with the programming specific to that location.   More expensive radios have the ability to program them via your phone app and BT connection.
