What do I do with this? I picked this Para all steel double stack frame up from a local mom and pop gun store. 200$ and I couldn't resist. I just finished a single stack build from 1911 builders and had so much fun I thought I would build this up into something.
But what. I have an STI 5" tactical that I just converted to 10mm for fun. It's a great shooter and could probably use this steel frame instead of the polymer STI grip/frame. But, it's done and I don't want to change it. So, what now. I could build up a steel frame 9mm and port the barrel for a five pound pistol with no recoil. Naa, I had a steelmaster for a while, loved it, should have kept it but been there. So what now.
What would this heavy steel frame be good for?
I see VZ makes nice G10 grip panels for it now and the rest should be stock 1911/2011. Need some Para mags though. Anyway, just trying to get a game plan. I have not messed with Para before.
Give me ideas if you care.
Thanks in advance.
