Not overly impressed. Problems/issues I had
The beaver tail got VERY uncomfortable on the webbing opf my shooting hand, It didnt pinch just alot of pressure.
I had a failure to feed on the last round of the mag about 60% of the time (different mags) most could be reduced by "assisting" the slide forward but not always.
Gun shoots low, aiming at the top of the forehead to hit in the upper lip at 15 yards
The ambi safety feels very "squishy" Im left handed so I used the ambi part.
Over all I didnt have a warm fuzzy "feel " to the gun like with my Kimber.
This will probably become a wall hanger or trade peice.

Regarding the last round in the mags not feeding correctly, the answer may be Wolff springs. I love what Para offers (hi-cap 45 in 1911 format). I have three (P14, P12 and an LDA Nite Tac).
The one consistent problem I've seen with Para has been the factory mag springs are not up to snuff. Been shooting Para's since 1993 and I don't even bother testing the magazines out any more. If I get a new gun, or new Para mags... I buy Wolff springs and swap them out immediately. In a perfect world would I need to mod a brand new gun? Of course not, but I love the 1911 and have large enough hands that the hi-cap feels great so I tolerate the mag spring issue.
Good luck and I hope it works itself out.
