Mark is spot on. I was talking over a build sheet for a single stack .40 with Bobby at Freedom Gunworks. We realized my build sheet had the same quality parts as the Para-with the added bonus of no wait time. I don't know Travis as well as others-but I can say he seems very analytical and detail oriented. I know the time and advisement he put into making this a quality gun to buy right off the shelf and I didn't hesitate to pull the trigger on buying one. I've had no issues to date, even with the factory mags. The only thing I had done to mine was a tri-top, and that's a personal preference. All other parts are just the way it came. No trigger adjustments, no sight or grip replacements, and no parts swaps or polishing. I think Para is on track to do some great things and rebuild their brand. This single stack is a prime example of that.
