Paras have a ramped barrel, Kimbers are great guns, but do not.
The Kimber double stack is so ugly only a mother could love it.
All else being equal, I would rather have 14 rounds of .45 ACP available than 7. Better to have and not need than to need and not have.
I have a P-14 which has had a grip reduction and is the same grip diameter as a Glock 23. Very nice feeling pistol. I have .45 ACP P-14s and P-16s in .40 S&W and 10mm.
My home defense pistol is a P-13 with a Surefire X200.
My CC piece is an Alloy P-12. A few hundred rounds of LeMas have been through it with no ill effects (except on the targets).
The Glock .45s have an unsupported area of the chamber. Normal .45ACP does not have a problem with this. The other Glocks are usually GTG. I have it on good authority that a KTM barrel makes everything okay.
I would see what comes up at the SHOT this year, it should be a big year for new stuff without the AWB.
I may have to buy one of the new LDA triggered pistols. Maybe they will make one in .357 SIG, perhaps an Officer's Model size, that would hold 14 rounds of .40 or .357. That would be very neat.
HTH.
