Sounds like the Paras are getting the nod. I don't know about bucktracker, but my next 1911 is going to be a Para.
Let's see; M25operator has 3 Paras, JumboFrank has 3 Paras, twyacht speaks highly of Paras (in the same sentence as Les Baer), Pathfinder has and loves a Para, bbbean recomends Para GI, ellis4538 has 2 Paras and shoots USPSA with them and last but certainly not least MB speaks highly of and has worked on design with.......Para.
I'm almost ready to let a Les Baer go cheap. Well maybe there is room for old Les and a new Para. Shhhhh. Please don't wake or tell my wife. She is still under the delusion that I have enough guns.
Seriously, if anyone is interested in a Les Baer 1911 in 40 S&W with an extended mag 18 +1, PM me. The Les 45 will stay at home for a while, but I could part with the Les Baer 40 S&W. It was bought as a prototype before the 40s were made into production models.
There's an article on this gun in the new American Rifleman. It says they bought the frames from Caspian. Looks like a nice gun.
