you can't go wrong
i have had a para for about 8 months now got it new a P12-45S i won't be trading it in for a long time (I love this gun!) here is what helped me,
1 get it!
2 clean it
3 polish the feeding slide on the barrel
4 put about 350 rounds in it
5 get new springs for the magz
6 get a adj. sight if it dose not have one
7 come back here and tell people how much you love the gun
the only prob. i have had with this thing is mag springs, wolf ammo, the sights(there a little low for me 20 yards), and it is a bit heavy
this thing shoots well right out of the box every thing is made to work together. I have had a springfeild 1911-A1 i would rather take one p12 then two 1911. i have traded a kimber ultra shadow L.E. II, a p89 9mm, and a colt 1911 4" s/s. and it para p 12 is the best so far, if you pick it up and like it buy it.
