weslinder, I've heard good stuff about the Para, but it's a bit out of my price range. I only have one gun that is that much (HK P30). I guess a bit of my b!tching is fruitless, as you can't ignore the law of physics. A .45 ACP will have more recoil, especially in shorter barrels. I can't imagine how that Para would shoot with a 3" barrel. Of course it's all about shot placement, and I'm mainly looking for my girl. My fave piece right now is my CZ 75 P-06, .40 SW. It's a little big for conceal though. I really want to check out that Kimber you referenced above, I'm reading a lot of good stuff about it. Thanks for the info!
Okay, after the don't help you pay for it... When you go pick out the Mexicans what tactic are you going to use? I suggest picking the most attractive ones. That's just me.
