Don't forget the flat bottom firing pin stop if you wanna baby your wrist.  Bullseye shooters latched onto them years ago because they alter the recoil profile and make it feel softer.

I just wish S&W would come out with a M&P or Bodyguard sized 10mm or both.

Thanks, I had "assumed" it was like a Colt Delta, which didn't interest me at all. I "almost" bought a Kimber Stainless Target II in 10mm, but didn't want the big target sights. I also have spent a ton of money/time through the years in "tweeking" 1911's (45 acp) into reliable EDC guns. I love them, but was also not sure how the full power 10mm recoil would affect my rebuilt wrist, ha. So far, love those Glocks! But an affordable, well designed 1911 in 10mm is something I am drawn to....

RevJim, the recoil on the Para long slide is negligible, much like a G20, if not better. I've been shooting a majority of Underwood and after 800 it is still a pleasure to shoot, I'm having fun!!!

Would that be the part EGW calls an "oversized" FPS? They show one for Series 70 and Series 80...I have no idea which one the RIA is. I've never done any smithing, so I'm "almost" clueless, ha.

RevJim,
Yes. Wilson Combat,Harrison, and a few others make them also. You want the one for a series 70 (I dont think RIA has changed designs). The series 80 is for those pistols with the "safety block" design. Lots of youtube videos show how to shape/fit the FPS. Buy at least 2 just in case you mess up the first attempt(I know I did).

Thanks Dennis...If I go this route, I's have my local smith do the work...he is a good one. Right now, I'm just gathering up ammo for this G20, but these guys keep bringing up that darn RIA 1911! ha
