The June 2006 issue of Guns & Ammo has a review of the new Para .45 GAP Carry micro 1911 gun. Its a good review, and you should go read it. This gun looks like a .45 GAP version of their PXT LDA Single Stack Carry .45 ACP, which is fine. Except that I don’t see any but minor difference between the guns.

According to the G&A review the GAP version will weigh 29oz. compared to the .45 ACP version’s 30oz. And it will be 6.4″ long instead of 6.5″ for the .45 ACP. Both will hold 6+1 rounds, have 3 dot sights, etc. Minor differences like these don’t make me want to run out any buy one. If can can have the gool old .45 ACP in the same sized gun I’m going to pick it every time.

And on a technical note, I would have had a pretty picture of it over ther on your left, except that Para is playing pixel games and is blocking download of images of their guns. You would have thought they would have liked some free publicity.
