Starting off, I am 34 from Pennsylvania. I was pretty much raised around guns but never really considered buying one until March of this year. It was a Hi-Point and it sucked...Did research and I have always liked the look of the M1911. Well, a couple months ago, I won a large amount of money and decided to put toward some investments and some stuff to fix up my car. One of the investments was a Para Ordnance GI Expert. Purchased it on Monday and got to go to the range with my family to shoot...I can tell you this, it shoots much nicer than the Hi-Point and is SOLID...Like holding a block of granite in your hands...

This is what I purchased...Only got 60 bucks on the trade in of the Hi-Point( by Fisher Price LOL). But it was definitley worth it... This thing is sweet for 489 bucks minus taxes and transfer fees etc...

I had just gotten home and cleaned the gun when I took this photo. It was empty at the time and I had the magazine in to hold the slide back so I could clean the black stuff off and took the picture like this. I do know how to clear a weapon, but I do appreciate the advice.

Thanks for the kind words guys, and LMAO at the Pistol with down syndrome comment...And yes, I plan on getting at least 2 more, maybe an RIA Commander version and when I can afford more than 600...Something like a Kimber or a nice mid-range custom or something, but yes...On a side note, this is the first time I ever shot a 1911 that did not require an XBox controller, LOL...
