I looked at one of these really serious last fall. I pretty much came to the conclusion that you would be better off to save the money and put it towards an STI. If you look at the price of the pistol, plus the fact that Remington's support for anything Para right now is sketchy at best and the fact that finding magazines is nearly impossible, it looked to me to be more trouble than it was worth. For once in my life I went with the buy once cry once strategy and definetly ended up with a better pistol in the long run.
