Thumbs up
Para-Ordnance

Much like Frank, I had no experience with Para-Ordnance pistols prior to the two that I tested for the E-zine. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and accuracy of those two guns. Para-Ordnance does indeed produce fine firearms.

Very nice write-up and photographs, Frank. Thank you for your review.

Thank you Steve. I liked the gun so it was a pleasure to shoot it.

Folks,

There are a couple of administrative points I'd like to clarify.

[1] The on the premises ramrod at Reed's Indoor Range is a man named Eric Fisher. I owe him personal thanks (together with Jim Reed) for making this happen. I'm very grateful for his cooperation and enthusiastic support, and he deserves specific mention.

[2] I wrote that the accuracy tests were done in less than perfect light. By that I mean indoors. To my eyes nothing beats the out of doors for good shooting light. That said, I'd like to be clear that Reed's Indoor range is probably the best indoor facility at which I've ever shot. It is very well run and very well maintained.

Good report Frank but I tried one in my hand at a gun show and it is just a little to big for me. I got small hands. Good write up. Thanks.


Cheers..Baldy

IDPA question.

dmuff,

I'm afraid that I have no idea. The weight is the weight listed in the Para Ordnance website, and it's not specified. You might want to ask George Wedge since he visists these Forums fairly regularly.
