Para's GI is a stripped down 1911 model,standard GI parts including,hammer,trigger,grip safety,sights,no goodies whatsoever.The Taurus has a lot of custom features installed right from the factory,about 19 of them if I am not mistaken.My PT1911AR has been 100% right from the get go,but then again I am not a 1911 purist.I like my bells and whistles-so to speak,heres a pic of mine with Raasco grips,Wilson Combat Multi Port and Wilson 2 piece guide rod.Its all I have done to the pistol as far as additions,the rest of it is factory.

Thats the beauty of the 1911,something for everyone and at everyones affordability.You could pay $400.00 or $4000.00 there is one in every price range.

I have them both and the Taurus is a tad more accurate and has a lighter trigger and is a good bit heavier with the rail, that makes a difference!

Depends what you want but doller for doller a pt1911 is hard to beat. If you don't mind not having a fancy gun and want something basic like the para usa I'd look at an armscor or rock island armory. The basic 1911s made in the Philippines are good to. There sold under several brands like rock island armory charles daly and firestorm
