1911Tuner, Thanks for the help. My CCW is new and I have only fired 300 rounds. Can you please explain at what point in the action that this is happening?

Thank you for the replies. I have a Para CCW and I noticed peening/witness marks in the same place where the recommended bevel would be. The movable link is not contacting, the back end of the guide rod is impacting the barrel/link lugs that the link mounts to. Is this normal? My para came...

I have not tried any other brands. I have seen older model Para CCW's with aftermarket 7 round magazines that fit flush and a Para Companion (same frame size) with Chip McCormick mags that work. I called Chip McCormick industries and they did not have an answer. They suggested that I send it...

I was reading Sweeney's gunsmithing book and he shows a caption of the back end of a full length guide rod with a bevel on it. It states to do this to yours if it is not already. Does this help with wear, lockup, dissasembly or something else?

I purchased a Chip McCormick shooting star 7 rd officers magazine and it does not fit my Para CCW. The base plate seems to be restricting full insertion. Has anyone else heard or seen of this?

I recently made some of the same decisions that you are pondering. My conclusion was to purchase a Para CCW. I found a great deal ($750 NEW)Many feel that it exhibits the best traits, just short enough to carry, long enough for good shootability. I like the combination of features, bobbed...

Thank you for everyones input. I ordered a convertable ITP holster with a thumb break from http://www.tsparksolutions.com/taurisholsters/index.cfm

Rinspeed, Thanks for the info. Your favorite (Alessi) looks very nice. I have a thumb break on all my holsters. I am very active and have a 2 1/2 year old, and I feel more comfortable on the jungle gym with a second layer of protection. Does the Alessi have a tenatious hold? Do...

Rinspeed, I think I would like an IWB to help conceal the muzzle. I have a owb holster for my SP101 that I made removable (snap off) belt straps for so that I can also wear it IWB. I am suprised that no one makes a similar holster.

I have a Para CCW (4.25"). What do you carry your 4 1/4" 1911 in?

It looks like they have the CCW for $851, wow thats high.

I have a USP compact in 40 S&W. It does seem to have a fair amount of muzzle flip. I have fired the USP full size and I felt like it had an extremely controllable and low amount of flip. The full size has a dual coil spring and the compact only has one spring with a small plastic recoil...

I am looking for a Para CCW. The best price I have found is $750. Has anyone seen them for a better price? I keep reading about people finding them for $500-600.

I second GGGMAN and MARKALLEN. I have also hammered out the logistics and come up with the same. SP-101 .357 2 1/4" in Target grey but with a bobbed hammer. I have a Orourke leather pocket holster and a Jaypee OWB belt holster that I have modified with removable(lift the dot snaps)...
