I'm not using this for show, my horse has very small withers (my old saddle is not full QH bars and is too small so I'm looking for full QH), and the store has a return policy so I can return it and get my money back in 10 days.

It looks like a nice enough saddle, but, I don't like how low the pommel sits.

Oh, and Hand carved basketweave leather is a real pain to clean.
Just FYI.

I wouldn't buy it off the internet, tho. How do you know it will truly fit your horse? Or that the saddle is put together properly and not just glued together like a lot of saddles being made today. Check the return policy before you buy anything off the internet.

ANTIQUE STYLE ASSCHER DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING

How to tell which model para ordinance 1911 I own?

I purchased my first handgun today. I bought it used from gander mountain for a reasonable price from what I can tell. It was a gun that was traded in for credit or whatever. Anyway, I'm trying to find the exact model I have, and I see most have the product code on the side but mine just has 7.45. I look on the receipt and it just said 1911A1 under model. I tried to find it on their website but I only find ones that almost look like it but different finish and they have the model number engrave design on them. Here is a lil info on the gun, it has a newer style trigger, six slot design on back but not on front of the slide, blue finish and walnut hand grips. Thanks for reading and any help will be appreciated.

It's a Para 7.45 LDA.

(Light Double Action) Meaning that it doesn't use the 1911's usual single action, but Para's own double action trigger design. (External hammer is down, pull trigger, hammer cocks and drops, gun fires.) Some like this trigger action better, some don't.

I like the tried and true single action trigger best, but you have a nice pistol.

I suppose it could also be a 7.45 PXT. This would have the single action trigger. (Hammer must be c0cked by hand or recoil of slide before it can fire. Trigger simply releases c0cked hammer.)
