My pre-ban Norinco 1911 I bought off my dad for $150 (price he paid sometime before '92), KaBar BK14, and a nice viking pipe.

aside from the natural beauty of JMB finest achievment, what I have most enjoyed is looking at everyone's grips!

Yep, and while I'm not much into custom grips, the 1911 guns can do justice to grips of all sorts and materials better than most any other handgun.

I've got a few, but this one is the one I grab the most:

Made in the US, excellent finish and balance. Once broken in (it DOES take >500+ rounds) I think this is one of the better 1911 platform pistols out there. Certainly more "bang for the buck" than many others. Opinions are going to vary here I am sure, but I'll put the PARA up against any other pistol for a "carry gun". Indeed the offerings from Baer and Wilson are way fine, but I'm not a competition pistol shooter. I'm a trap/sporting clays fan. So where I will spend silly amounts of money on a shotgun for competition, I won't for a sidearm. Point being..if you are looking for an everyday defensive pistol....PARA just might be a good choice. BTW...their Customer Service bites; pray you never need it.

I had a Norinco..........wish I would have kept it! It was a very good 1911!

The Model 1911 was not the first Colt .45 Automatic. Just for fun a shabby-looking example of an uncommon model, the Colt Model 1905.
