Is this model still made by Para? From another forum, there was a discussion regarding this GI Expert, to which some parts/sub assemblies are sub-contracted by Armscor. Similar to the STI Spartan deal, primarily so they can sell it cheaper. Can anyone confirm this?
Changed the grips so far no other mods.

I prefer wood grips on my 1911 pistol, here is my Nork Commander with DD checkered Brazilian rosewood made by Kim Ahrends !

cool except for that thing you have over the trigger, what purpose does it serve anyway
Not sure but all i know is a guy that works at the Range tried it and said it was way better than a Para he shot 3 years ago, his STI Spartan is the smoothest 1911 I HAVE EVER shot, for him to say keep it as is no need to upgrade anything then im ok with it, im new to Handguns so i value the opinion of someone thats been shooting longer than i have been alive

Ignore the grumpy ones that don't seem to understand that you are showing us your updated grips so all can see then. Not every update is for an improvement in performance .........................Nice grips
I LIKENope, no trick. Just a reality check. Seems most are concerned with mods that have a zero net gain in either performance or reliability. If this is the priority then clearly improving ones ability with a firearm is not one. To me that falls into the poser category, or rather the "enthusiast" category. Naturally, its usually the 1911 crowd who prefer to pretty up the guns rather than improve them or themselves... Just saying.

Relax, why? I'm not worked up. I'm simply amused at the amount of money wasted on useless stuff designed for form over function. At the end of the day its your money do as you please. My concern is when such people decide to weigh in on what is and isn't effective as far as make/model/calibre/technique/accessory. If playing dress up with your guns is your game, great. I must be in the minority of people who wish to shoot their guns and improve ones ability. Looking cool has zero benefit.

Nevermind TDC comments... You know it's hard for a super highly trained and probably ex special force guy to browse this forum and stay out of the box for a few minutes.
My comment is STFU nerd. I use a Sig Sauer P226 at work TDC. And guess what? I also own a few 1911 and I also change the grips. Why? Because they look better and they look cool! Get it?
Thanks for sharing pictures of your new pistol transporter. I personally don't like PARA but I hope yours is problem free.
Cheers.

Ok then, if you wish to use them as range toys and not tools that too is a you problem. I'm just illustrating to others that although the grips look good(albeit a bit poserish) they still won't and don't improve performance. So even for the gamer out there who wishes to look cool, he still won't perform any better with such an accessory. As long as we all understand that.
