Many of you might wonder why I don't like most 1911 pistols. The fact is that I have found the single stack 1911 to be the worst handling pistol I have ever fired. I used them for years for USPSA shooting and did lousy. That was the major reason why I switched to hicap guns like the Glock, Beretta, etc. - I just plain shot them better.
In the last few years I have begun using hicap Paras (16.40, 18.9 LDA) with great success. While I don't have large hands, for some reason the wide body Para with their high cut under the trigger guard and an arched mainspring housing (which I add) is ergonomic perfection for me. But then again, so is the Glock (G17, 35, 21) and Beretta M96 Elite.
I will just have to differ with those who feel JMB's original design is "ergonomic perfection." For me it's a nightmare.
