Para Elite Pro or Desert Eagle 1911G or Ruger SR1911
Looking at getting back into 1911s. $700 is about what I'm willing to drop. The DE 1911G gets some good reviews (less the rollmark) and I know PARA is now basically DOA. I can get either of these locally for $699. I know the Para elite Pro is normally more expensive but it's on close out.
The DE has a nice trigger and great fit and finish and by all accounts shoots great.
I can't find much on the Para Elite Pro. It has a lot of bells and whistles
Out of the box that I like such as ambi safety and trijicon nite sites and VZ grips and flared magwell.
So now what? Take a chance on the Para or go with the DE.
My third choice is a the Ruger SR1911. Lots to like about it minus the Ruger warning labels all over it. I doubt Ruger is going belly up anytime soon so warranty should be GTG if any issues creep up.
What would you do?
