Para Ordnance ~ GI Expert ~ .45 ACP

The Para GI Expert was an entry-level, full-size 1911 pistol chambered in .45 ACP, manufactured by Para Ordnance (later Para USA). It was introduced around 2009 to provide an affordable, yet feature-rich 1911 option to new shooters. The company was acquired by Remington and the Para brand was discontinued around 2015, making the GI Expert only available on the used market.
