That's good news! Hopefully their line will expand from there.

I'd like to see something in a Commander size 1911 in 10mm. Maybe I'm the only one. ${$default_roll_eyes_smiley}$

No, you aren't ;-)

Glad to see that. This round just might catch on. That's at least two new platforms, within a few months.

That makes three. A CCO would be even better. Guess that is why I am building one. On a high cap para frame no less.

Wife is out of town this weekend. I may make some progress.

Please post details when you are done - that sounds like an interesting project!

It is in need of updating.

How are you doing with the barrel fitting? That's the problem with moving it interferes with your life. ${$default_grin_smiley}$

Disappointing. Sick of seeing these 1911's with 8 or 9 round magazines. It's been a hundred years, I think we have advanced far enough that we can figure out a way to get 15 rounds into a 10mm 1911.

My P16-40 /10mm holds 17+1. Doesn't feel meaningfully larger to me than a Springfield Loaded.

I understand the sentiment, especially given that Para has been making double stack 1911s longer than anyone, as I understand it.

Perhaps this model is single stack since it is targeted at hunting - maybe they will also make a double stack 5" version...

One can hope!

I will be Charlotte tomorrow so I sent an email to Para to see if I could stop by. No response yet, not really expecting one. I wouldn't mind being able to give them the above mentioned ideas but their reputation for communication has been notoriously poor. We'll see.

The Para Rep on the 1911 forum stated that a double stack will be coming out AFTER the 1911 single stack.The gun looks good to me .
I have a Kimber Target 10MM coming on a trade I did with a fellow 10MM brother after that is completed maybe a Para is in my future.

I read that as "We are doing market research with a single stack and if sales are amazing we will do a double stack."

I would love to see the gun be a huge hit, but I don't think the numbers will sell the suits that now own Para on the idea of a double stack.
