Those were/are built on the Bul frame which was reportedly an Israeli
attempt to make something like an STI or Para.
If I remember correctly the Bul frames can use Para mags.


The best highcap 1911's are the STI and S/V (same patent, two
different vendors).
Aside from early probs with magazines Paras seem to run just fine also.
