Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Para-Ordnance Custom “Smith Kit” Pistol (Item F2138G) is a distinctive semi-automatic sidearm built on the company’s renowned double-stack 1911-style platform and chambered in .45 ACP. It features a 5-inch stainless Nowlin match-grade barrel, widely respected for its precision machining, tight bore tolerances, and ability to deliver consistent accuracy. The pistol’s aesthetic combines a natural stainless steel frame with a blued slide, producing a striking two-tone finish that not only resists corrosion on the frame but also helps reduce glare off the slide to preserve a clear sight picture. Its sighting system includes a dovetailed Patridge blade front sight and an adjustable Bo-Mar rear sight, a traditional yet highly effective arrangement for competitive or precision shooting. The pistol is fitted with black checkered synthetic grips bearing the Para-Ordnance logo, which offer a secure hold and complement the pistol’s practical, competition-ready appearance. This model’s designation as a “Smith Kit” underscores its custom-tuned nature—likely incorporating hand-fitted components, enhanced trigger work, and carefully matched slide-to-frame tolerances for smoother cycling and improved accuracy over standard factory offerings. The short-recoil operated action functions like other 1911-pattern pistols, but the inclusion of premium parts such as the Nowlin barrel elevates its reliability and consistency, especially with quality .45 ACP ammunition. Combined with the robust double-stack frame for increased magazine capacity, the carefully selected materials and finishes make this pistol well-suited for both high-volume competitive shooting and serious target work. Altogether, the Para-Ordnance Custom “Smith Kit” F2138G represents a finely balanced blend of precision engineering, ergonomic refinement, and rugged durability—delivering the enhanced performance expected of a purpose-built custom 1911-style pistol.
