These kind of interest me for some reason. Anyone have experience with them?

    A neighbor has one, he likes it. I looked it over and for the price it seemed ok.

    Well made & accurate; I think it's a good buy. But, the blue/black finish is not durable; expect even gentle handling to result in marks.

    I had the chance to tear down & look over a SS R1, a Ruger & a Taurus. The R1 was better made and finished IMO. It shoots well.

    The Remington should be very robust, and a decent pistol. It is now most likely made on the same equipment that the Para USA guns are made on. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the Ruger, either. Both are very well made for the $$. IMHO, the only way to get one better, is step up to Baer, Wilson, Fusion, or NightHawk. Stay far away from Taurus!

    I have 2 of them. They are the enhanced versions with threaded barrels and extended sights. Both have run 100% with and without silencers on them.paid 725.00 each with shipping. They are a great gun for the money.
