Para Expert Carry .45 Pistol

[Superposed]

Does anyone own or have any experience with the Para Expert Carry .45 Pistol?  What are your opinions of Para Ordnance  pistols in general?

 

Any information is appreciated.

I have had 4 different paras in the past. Quality gun, good fit, good finish, well worth the money. Only complaint I had was the trigger needed smoothing out.

Early models of PO 1911 clones were very good then not so good. Don't know about current production so can only say test fire the model you want to buy if at all possible.

ICYMI, Para is being integrated under the Remington umbrella.  http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/02/09/breaking-news-remington-announces-para-integration/

 

I have two newer (Charlotte, NC made) Govt. model Paras, a S/S Elite and S/S Expert.  Fit and finish are good (Elite is tighter, but also more $$).  Reliability and accuracy have been great, though I haven't put many rounds through either one thus far.  My brother also bought a new S/S Elite and his trigger is not as smooth as mine, so it's worthwhile to look it over in person before purchasing.

They are "series 80" so that is what kept me from them. I like the "series 70" better since it has 4 less parts. I also heard of them being hit and miss. The small Warthogs (compacts) had some problems I believe.

Have two tone Expert Carry and put 150 mixed rounds thru it with no problems. Will be edc. Good finish and tight fitting gun. Para made a good product.

I had both the ss and blued version of the para expert GI and had no problems other than gritty trigger on both guns. But, after a good cleaning and a couple of hundred rounds through them the triggers smoothed out. I also replaced the recoil spring but I did that to every gun.

Over all IMO a good gun for the money.

I have 2 of their previous pistols that were from Canada. I carry the LTC when my wife is not shooting it.
