dances with guns

hi everyone, i'm new to the forum (just signed up a few minutes ago).
and wanted to post my review of a recent purchase i really like.
i bought the para gi expert a few months back.
i put some vz tiger stripe operator grips on:
i've put about 600 rounds through it so far with no problems aside from a ftf one round early on during the break in, and has not been repeated. (this gun comes so tight when brand new, you have to really grip it to pull back the slide--the manual recommends a 500 round break in).
it shoots quite accurately, allowing you to easily make a ragged hole at 15 yards. the very smooth and light trigger pull aids in this too. it feels about 4lbs.
the slide to frame fit quality is instantly noticeable when you first pull back the slide. it's smooth as glass, and has no play whatsoever.
the polishing of the frame ramp and barrel throat are also quite nice, and the barrel is crowned at 11 degrees. heck, they even polished the extractor and breech face!
you certainly wouldn't expect these features on a $550 1911.
here's 50 rounds at 15 yards, two hand hold:
