Are there any mass compliant compact .45 pistols out there for mass??? and any thoughts on them

para ordnance offers several 3" 1911 pistols in 9mm and .45acp. If you don't like para ordnance, smith&wesson makes a 3" 1911 in .45acp that holds 7+1

I was thinking of getting a para when I was looking for a compact 1911. Maybe others had a different experience but I had a hard time finding any positive comments on them on a number of gun forum boards. You could find good reviews in gun rags, but you'd also see a bunch of Para advertisements. Always left me feeling that Para paid for the good review. After all the negatives I passed. I'll stay with S&W. Haven't had a bad one yet.

I had a Para 6.45 LDA Covert Carry and it was singularly the nicest compact 1911-type pistol I have ever owned...Even dedicated "Para-Haters" liked it, (though I swore to protect their identity )....It was laser accurate for a 3" barrel and gobbled down everything I fed it - though it's diet was mostly 185gr Remington Golden Sabres. I hated to see it go, but I started carrying a 642 and it spent too much time in the safe. The proceeds from the sale funded my NES M-4, so it's memory lives on....

A used Glock G30. Look in the for sale threads and you will eventually find a good deal on one. I think there may even be one in there now with an IWB holster too.

I can't remember - is the S&W CS45 sellable in MA?

It is, I had one and loved it. Probably the most accurate gun I've ever owned. The grips however, were just too wide. Just something about the way it conceals/doesn't conceal was the reason I got rid of it. I would suggest the G30 or the Para carry LDA. Both are amazing, but a little more expensive.

I have a Para LDA Carry Model that I'm not too fond of (don't like the trigger). I tried the S&W CS45 and hated the grips.

I carried this for several years before I discovered the 1911sc. I shoot this as well as any gun it is totally dependable and extremely accurate. I like the grip size.
