Rock River Arms
Rock River Arms is located in Cleveland, Illlinois--just a short drive from either Les Baer or Springfield Armory. For a state with such horrible gun laws, we sure do have a lot of nice 1911s made here.

I used my P-14 dual tone to go through Thunder Ranch DH1 5 day course last year. I never had a jam that wasn't operator error, and was accurate enough for what I was using it for. I later shout about a 2.5" group with it, at 15 yards. I have the origional mag that came with the gun, and the 2 extra high-caps from the cupons. One of the extras needed tweaking in the feed lip area, but they all work just fine now.
I put about 1000 rounds through it, and when I started the class I had put maybe 100 rounds through it.
What everyone posted before, about a full-up double stack .45 being heavy, is no joke. I had to prop my arms against my chest for the "ready" position by the 3rd day of classes.
Oh, a couple of notes that might not affect you or not, depending on your hand size. The later Para's have a much smaller grip than when they first came out. And, the grip safety and grip tang wore a hole in hand, when firing. However, I have very large hands, so this might not be a problem for you.

Hands down its the Para
think about it who started the high cap craze?Para
out of the those pics and not going into a high end STI/SVI full house race gun the Para is the only choice for high caps
the Springfeild does infact use the Para mags but its not a tried and tested or should i say as tried and tested as the Para's.
single stack hey its got to be the springfeild..TRP and its just one reload away from a Para..but for high caps theres no comp. Para is THE choice......just my opinion either way its what you...YOU...feel comffy with....if you have freinds that shoot and own these then try them or spend the ten to twenty bucks at the range and rent each one....its like test driving a car...good luck
stay healthy...Joey
