I had a para ordinance p12.45 limited that I got at a pawn shop cheap and fired two rounds through it. The frame was cracked, assuming from the person that sold it to the pawn shop. I took it back and traded it in on this and I feel like I got a better gun. I'm in love with this thing now. Glad it worked out this way. This one was 400 bucks OTD. I'm extremely happy with my first 1911. Nothin flashy but here she is
