Is Para Ordnance a good 1911?
Those 1911s have a lot of recoil. They have a lot of muzzle rise and they, to me, just are not fun guns to shoot, but the Para 1911 is so soft-shooting that you almost wonder how the slide is coming all the way to the rear and chambering another round. I really like shooting this gun.
