Gun Owning Smokers

I envy you that one. I like the looks of the Ruger SR1911 and I'm willing to bet it's up to the usual Ruger standard for operation and accuracy. Not to mention the one I want (the 6700 model) comes with a stainless steel finish and cocobolo grips. Just like my Ruger super single .22 combo and my Mark III hunter.

But they're pricey and I already own a 1911...........just not as nice a one! So I'll wait and maybe in a year or two or three, I'll find a used one on sale for a more affordable price than brand new.

I didn't think it was much pricier than your Para. Anyway, talk about pricey, my buddy just got an Ed Brown Kobra Carry. *Drool*
I gather the Para is an entry level GI Replica, while the Ruger is only an entry level enhanced.
