Ugh... bought by Remington - the death knell of too many fine gun manufacturers. Actually, to be fair, Remington suffered the same fate. I know, I know, how can Remington have been "bought by Remington"? It's a little more complicated than that. Remington was just the first to fall, having been purchased by a company called "The Leisure Group" (or something like that), who went on to purchase a number of firearms manufacturers, most notably Marlin. They have gutted each and every one of them, and somehow, Remington gets the blame. It really isn't their fault...
Well, rats - the Canadian Paras were pretty nifty guns. They were the first to "double stack" the .45 ACP in a 1911 frame. The first ones felt like you were holding the wrong end of a baseball bat, but they kept getting better. Even their standard single stack guns were highly respected.
As far as I know, there really isn't much of a price difference between the 9mm and .45 ACP ammo, if we are looking at cheap plinking fodder. I reload, and haven't bought factory ammo in decades, so maybe I'm out of touch on that. Seems that the "bulk" stuff is close to a wash, though, from what I have gathered just walking around at the gun shows.
