I had a pre PXT P16 that I had reamed to 10mm. I swapped out the stock stuff to Ed Brown externals and C&S internals. The best move you can make with a Para is get an Ed Brown beavertail with a C&R Ultralight (3#) ignition kit (FCG). Thank me later.

I have an LTC. It is their single stack, single-action, commander sized 1911. I love it. It is the lightweight alloy version. It uses all standard 1911 parts.

This is my first 1911, and it is by far the most accurate of all my handguns. It has a real tight fit between the parts. It also has a ramped barrel, which is more like a normal, non-1911 type pistol barrel. It has fed perfectly.

If there is a downside to this gun, I don;t know what it is. OK, maybe price. But all new 1911s are gonna cost you a few dollars.


I would like to try one of their hi-caps one of these days.
