Description
The Para USA Expert 1911 is a full-sized semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP, designed with a combination of traditional 1911 architecture and contemporary performance features. This example is equipped with a 5-inch barrel fitted with an aftermarket multi-port stainless-steel muzzle compensator. The firearm features a satin stainless-steel finish on both the slide and frame, complemented by black textured rubber Hogue wraparound grips with integrated finger grooves. The sighting system consists of green fiber optic three-dot sights for enhanced visibility. Performance components include a skeletonized trigger and hammer, an extended beavertail grip safety, and an ambidextrous thumb safety. Verbatim markings include the model designation Para 1911 on the left side of the slide and Expert on the right side. The right side of the frame is marked PARA USA CHARLOTTE, NC and bears the serial number K019248. The barrel hood is stamped (.45 ACP). One 8-round black magazine is included with the lot. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The pistol is in good used condition, showing a consistent satin stainless-steel finish with minor surface scuffs and light scratches typical of handling. There is visible carbon residue and light fouling around the muzzle compensator, ejection port, and frame pins. The Hogue rubber grips remain supple and intact with no significant wear to the texture. The action appears to function correctly when cycled by hand, though we have not function-tested this firearm. The bore is bright with sharp, well-defined rifling.
