Over the next month my wife made a number of calls to the company and was told that the weapon would be shipped on such and such a date which never happened. During this time I was aware that buddies of mine who had ordered these guns were having similar problems but I did not yet know that my wife had ordered one for me. She finally got fed up and called to cancel the order and get a refund that she would use to buy a gun locally. A supervisor got on and talked to her and swore that the gun would be here on Wednesday. It arrived today. Still, I am excited to have this gun and can't wait to get to a range though I doubt that I will order another gun from Para-ordnance.

SFC W:
I am sorry to hear that you/your wife got the runaround. I hate being lied to as well. Just tell me six weeks, if that is what it is going to be.
At the same time, if anyone who carries concealed and likes the 1911 is looking for a good carry gun, the P-12 Lightweight has been my favorite for a long time. The aluminum framed P-12 holds 12 rounds of .45 ACP, is roughtly the same size as a Colt Lightweight Officer's Model or any of the other 3.5" barreled 1911s, and weighs just about the same, with the addition of the extra five rounds. It also takes the larger 13 and 14 round mags (from the P13, P-14, and SF-45) for reloads, so if you carry it as a backup handgun, you can use the same mags as your primary.
Might be worth considering if you decide you like your SF-45 and are in the market for a carry gun.
