Well, just finished cleanup after going to the range with my New Para LTC .45 ACP 1911. I must say I am extremely happy with the results of both the gun at the range and the Poly-Dunk Kit from Cylinder and Slide in clean up.
207 rounds down range thru both factory mags and the 2 Chip McCormick 8rd mags I picked up in Austin. Not a single malfunction from the gun.
Accuracy was well above expectation for me off hand, weaver stance and single handed.
Nice tight groupings when firing dbl handed and fairly tight single handed. Double tap groups were quite good as well out to about 30 to 45 feet.
I am certainly glad I traded off my Springfield XD for the Para now.
Much more accurate and I think a bit safer as well.
The Polk-Dunk Kit made cleanup a snap, just field strip, soak in the bucket bucket for a bit, I let mine sit for something near 30 minutes or so. take out, wipe down, tooth brush the built up carbon rinse around in the dunk, then wipe down and let dry, or force dry with compressed air as I did on the slide and frame. Lube as necessary and re-assemble, there ya go, nice and clean no muss no fuss.

New Addition
Well I have started the tweak of my carry weapon.
I replaced the factory grips with some of the
slim line grips from Chip McCormick, I must say
I love the quality of these grips, nice rosewood.
good checkering, not to aggressive, but still give a good
grip and doesn't seem to grab my clothing, plus the slim line
profile, gives a better grip for my slightly smaller hands.
I also picked up a pair of Power Mags from Chip McCormick.
very nice feel to them, strong springs, good smooth followers.
Time will tell how well they perform for me as well as the factory mags, when I have
time to get to the range and break in my new CCW.
I also blacked out the rear dots or my 3-Dots and painted the front dot with a Neon Red
enamel paint. The flat black rear making it a single dot site for all effects and purposes, with the bright red/orange front seems to help in site acquisition and indexing point of aim for me.
