hello hello. this is only my second post around here, and it might be long, so be warned haha.
im deployed in iraq at the moment ( only a few more months.... woohoo ) and i just recently ordered a limited edition .45 from Para. its a limited production deployment pistol engraved with my unit and division emblem on it.
this is the description:
MODEL: SF-45-A
14+1 capacity Pistol
5 inch match grade barrel
full length guide rod tritium night sights
3-dot trijicon night sights
stainless steel receiver with integral light rail
medium length match grade trigger
weight is approx 40oz
8.5 inches long 5.75 inches tall
5 mags included
para ord. fitted hard case
coyote tan with black controls
with everything, i think the MSRP was around $1300. throught para's program they have going, it was $715. anyways, a lot of guys were ordering them, so i though what the hell and put my name down. i was a little unsure of dropping $700 on a pistol, considering ive barely shot them and never owned one. well, when i was home on mid-tour leave i went to the range with my buddy and shot his Kimber Custom II, CZ-75 SP-01 and Glock 19, all of which were a blast. Needless to say after shooting a few hundred rounds through the Kimber i was hooked on it. pretty glad i ordered this Para, and im really looking forward to shooting it when i get back.
Now, ive been looking at everything under the sun trying to pick out another handgun to buy when i get back. id like another 1911, but to mix it up a bit ive been looking for a .40 with a 4" barrel. ive heard nothing but good about the XD, so ive been leaning towards that.
hopefuly i dont go broke on pistols. ive shot everything from my M4 to light, medium and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers but handguns just seem way more satisfying (...maybe not as much as a .50 cal machine gun, but you get the idea.)
hope i didnt strain any eyeballs with the massive post.
