Thank you Frank, I have now found my first handgun.

Being a special edition, would there be any difficulties getting replacement parts or upper/lower receiver a few years down the road? (even if so Im still going to get it)

There would be no problem getting parts. And I would worry about replacing the receiver (frame). That should be good for several generations.

My ffl checked today about ordering the GI Expert and the 3 wholesalers he deals with don't have any available. Anyone have any idea when these are going to be available in more quanity? I don't mind waiting seeing he is a person friend and the cost is $435.

Just ordered mine yesterday!! Should be here within 2 days.. too bad I have to travel for work and wont be back home till the 7th. Cant wait to get back to it now. I will post some picks when I get back!

DudeBro,

Why, in noticeable daily operating terms, do you want a power extractor and ramped barrel so much and, given the significant differences they'd make, why focus on the Expert?

This the exact gun model I want from them, but they don't have the power extractor and ramped barrel in it.

Thank you guys!

Who did you order from to get in 2 days?

Its a shop in South Dakota called The Exchange, awesome customer service as they were really nice to deal with. They should be continuing to get the GI Expert in on a regular basis.

That is where I got mine also, overnight shipping is only $30 and when your spending $500 whats another $30 to have it in 2 days. Has anyone tried to fit Ed Brown or Wilson parts such as the slide stop, or magazine release to the GI Expert? If I can barrow my buddies HD Video camera again I plan on doing a video review and posting it on Youtube.

Does Para have a Customizing shop like Kimber or Springfield, I would like to get a beavertail grip safety installed on my GI Expert

I believe their website contains a link to their "Pro Shop" at the top right. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for or not.
