Its no where near as nice as a Fusion or a Guncrafter, but I love it all the same:

My Para Elite LS Hunter
${$default_grin_smiley}$ this is an "old" pic, Ive since refinished the grips ( they look much better now, they were way to heavily clear coated) and put in a Harrison ignition set.

Don't dis' that gun! You have a fine firearm. I'm sure it shoots as strait as any of the others ... and it's your very own!

Well there's nice, and there is is it good enough? As long as it feels comfortable in your hand and shoots well. I mean I have trhe expensive Fusion Firearms longslide hunter 10mm. I also have the $600 RIA TAC II 10mm, and I enjoy it, too. Still in love with my original 10mm, the Dan Wesson Razorback.

Nearly six months into my wait! Hoping it arrives before spring. I have acquired tools and supplies to reload for it. I also have three boxes of Double-Tap, a box of Buffalo Bore, and a few other factory rounds. Going to reload my first 10mm rounds today.

According to his 1911forum thread,

800 and 180gr bullets. Tracy

Yep. Gonna have 10 rounds of several charge weights ready when it gets here. I have some plated flat point and HAP bullets. I also plan to load up some AutoComp and some Longshot too..

So far I've only used Longshot and Penn 180 fp lead bullets. My "hot" load (which is warm, but not near max) is 8.8gr, and I'm down as low as 5.6....which still has a decent amount of recoil. Tracy

180-185 grain bullets are my favorite. Here is a target using Precision Bullets 185 grain moly coated and HP38 powder from my Dan Wesson 10mm.
