1911's in .40 S&W

www.dlaskarms.com makes a .40.
I had a stainless P16-40 LTD and thought it was a great gun. I think the .40 round is excellent -- good ballistics and available everywhere. The Para was extremely accurate and easy to shoot. The only reason it is gone is to help pay for a premium single stack 1911 in .45. I just didn't like the double stack grip on the Para...it didn't feel right when compared to a single stack. And why bother with a double stack when you can only load 10 + 1 anyway?

....one of the main reasons I love the single stack - there really isnt a disadvantage in Canada for using one. That said, I think you would see quite a few less single stacks if mag laws would ever change....especially with STI double stack grips being so close in size to single stack frames

#1 reason: Double stack mags are soooo much easier to reload.
And check in the Action Shooting Sports sections for opinions on the STI double stack 40s; the Edge and Eagle.
I own an STI Trojan in .40.
I really like this pistol.
It has no issues.
It is accurate.
It is well put together.
The internals are quality parts.
I had the ejector polished up and put in a 12.5 lb. ISMI spring as opposed to the factory 14 lb. spring.
It came with a 3.5 lb. trigger which I had lightened to 2.5 lbs.
I like the sights on it.Adjustable and easy to pick up for my older eyes.
I believe Freedom Ventures has them listed now for $1200.
They're worth that and more.
I've held a Para,but the double stack is a little too wide for me.
I like a single stack pistol.
If you shoot with the supplied mag(mine came with a MecGar) you can shoot factory length ammo,as the mag has a spacer in it.
If you use 10mm mags,such as Metalform,you will have to lengthen the AOL to get reliable feeding.
I would not hesitate to recommend this pistol.
