DUH.. They had the pistol they needed in the 45acp round.
Never should have left it.

1911 doing it better for 103 years!

Para has taken the 1911 designed and modified it to hold 14+1. This eliminates the one drawback of the original 1911 as it was 7+1. The para is a double stack magazine holding 14 rounds. The frame has also been beefed up to handle the +P ammo. +P ammo in a 45 caliber is a man stopper. Oddly enough the +P ammo in a 9mm is more powerful than the standard standard 230 grain FMJ that was used in the original 1911. However, the +P in a 45 caliber has amazing ballistics. It will ruin your whole day.

These are cute. Heckler & Koch MP7,fires a 4.6x30mm cartridge and penetrates soft body armor.

Not really so much a pistol, but the hybridized Personal Defense Weapon.

I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help myself....

A 1911 in 10 mm (Colt Delta Elite comes to mind)

or

A glock 20

Utilizing BuffaloBore +P ammo (180gr, 1350FPS )

Of course we all know the military never does anything the easy way.

I would go with a new Glock 41 45 ACP easy to take down and maintain...not a lot of parts; easy to work on. three built in safeties

This was predicted by many more than 20 years ago.

I’ve tried a number of handguns, including the Baretta. I own an Egyptian knockoff of the Baretta, a CZ .32 that my Dad brought back in WWII and a cap and ball revolver, but I’ve never had a gun that felt so right in my hand as the Remington 1911 R1 that I recently bought.

[Rannug]

I bought a 10mm a few weeks ago. You know? The gun the FBI couldn’t handle? I put a Viridian X5L on it. Lordy, what a combination.

Not directed at you virgil 1283, but there are more than a few posting here who don’t know shlt from shinola.

Left hand model?

If not, what's the story on it?

I ask because I have a model made in 1914 in the Springfield Armory and the one in your pic looks pretty old itself. Sweet.
