This is embarrassing but I want to let anybody who may consider the same deal in the future , think about what they are doing.
I was wanting a G17. The only pistol I was willing to part with was my G30. Had it 11 years , 10k rounds , Replaced recoil spring , take down spring , bla, bla. The opportunity came about to get a Para GI Expert , less than 1k , less than a year old , bla , bla .Always wanted a 1911. The trade took place last night. Shot it this afternoon about 13:00. Traded a dealer , it and $100 for a used G17 an hour later. The G17 still had the gold looking lube under the slide from the factory. Always thought Para was a good manufacturer (not saying their not , but the one I acquired put a bad taste in my mouth)
