Had the opportunity to shot a brand new out of the box Para today. It ran like a champ not one hiccup. All I did was put a couple of drops of oil on it. However, when compared to the STI it feels like a unshaped lump of steel. It didn't have any touch appeal or ergonomics to speak of. The trigger was just okay not nearly as light a smooth as an STI.
After shooting a double stack Para I wouldn't NOT own one but I wouldn't buy it either.

Re: Opinions on double stack 1911's such as Para Ordnance.
The STI 2011 (double stack 1911s) are awesome and as said above made in Texas. It is amazing how a gun that looks rather large fits such a wide variety of hand sizes. I have a very limited range of guns that I can reach the trigger on and STI 2011 is one of them. Yet my husband that has no issues with gripping any size gun is comfortable with the 2011 as well.
