This video review highlights the Para Ordnance Carry 12, a unique double-stack, officer-sized 1911 variant. The reviewer praises its modified action, which offers a surprisingly light double-action trigger pull that feels akin to a single-action. A notable characteristic discussed is the trigger going dead until the slide resets the hammer, creating a hybrid action deemed favorable for carry. Although no longer in production, the presenter strongly recommends acquiring one if found, emphasizing its value as a 'forgotten gem' in the 1911 lineage.
