Para Long Slide Hunter 10mm

UnitBob · 12-16-2012, 07:50

They mentioned it at SHOT Show 2012, has there been any recent announcements on it?

I see several sites have it listed, but not yet in stock with no indication of when it will be in stock.

Interesting

I had heard about this after the SHOT show but I have not heard anything about it since. It would be a nice new pistol for the 10mm industry.

All I can say is the firearms industry sure isn't attempting to overwhelm us with new introductions in 10MM. We got one that I know of with Rock Islands offering. Perhaps in 2013 they will see the light.

Yeah, maybe.

Para's quality is below average, as far as I'm concerned.

Speaking if the new RIA 10mm, my dad should have his on Mon or Tues.

Cool

I like the Armscor 1911s.

Yep. I don't have any first-hand experience with the RRI's, however I do have a lot of 1911 experience in general. I don't see why it wouldn't be a great shooter.

Time will tell. Ill make sure he gives me a full range report when he shoots it.

I'm looking forward to hearing about it.

The Filipino 1911s are great deals.

Trust me on this, a lot of us are!

bac1023 · 12-16-2012, 13:14

I only buy 1911s in 45 ACP, but the RRA is a good deal.

RIA, not RRA

F^#%, I did! I even looked at it and read it out loud. Duh! Well I give up lol

UnitBob · 12-17-2012, 10:02

So Para's reputation is worse than RIA's?

At least it's a long slide, who else makes them in 10mm?

Tablerock · 12-17-2012, 17:10

NickE is correct. Mine is actually here and was delivered (attempted delivery) today, but my FFL is closed on Sun & Monday......OUCH !! So, my tracking info says it will now be delivered tomorrow (Tues) and I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve.....I probably won't be able to sleep tonight...LOL
I will try and post up some shooting info unless it blows up in my hand. I know RIA is just a "box gun", not like even a Dan Wesson, or Kimber, or whatever, but if it shoots good, and holds together, I'll be a very happy guy. Most "box guns" need varying amounts of rounds fired before they come into there own, and I have a bunch of ammo handy and ready. Mostly handloads with different bullet weights....I was always a fan of a 45 1911 until nickE10mm showed me the light....LOVE THOSE 10's !
