In January 2012, Para USA was acquired to become a part of the Freedom Group, a consortium of firearms manufacturers owned by Cerberus Capital Management, a New York private equity investment firm.[5] Remington is Para USA's immediate corporate parent.

Since 2007, Remington Arms had been part of the Remington Outdoor Company (ROC NYSE),[6] which is owned by Cerberus Capital Management. Freedom Group had previously purchased Marlin Firearms and DPMS Panther Arms in 2007. Cerberus combined DPMS and other firearm companies with Remington Arms, Bushmaster Firearms International, and Cobb Manufacturing to form the Freedom Group.[7]

In 2014, the six subsidiary companies that would relocate and consolidate into Remington Arms's new state-of-the-art non-union production facility in Huntsville, Alabama were: Advanced Armament Corp, Lawrenceville, Georgia; Montana Rifleman, Kalispell, Montana; TAPCO, Kennesaw, Georgia; LAR Manufacturing, West Jordan, Utah; DPMS Panther Arms, St. Cloud, Minnesota; and Para USA (Para-Ordnance), Pineville, North Carolina.[8] Remington stated that it would consolidate its production from those six locations into Huntsville in order to increase efficiency, and reduce production and labor costs.[9][10][11][12]

In February 2015, Remington Outdoor Company announced that the "integration" of Para USA into Remington would occur with the move of Para USA to Remington's Huntville, Alabama facility in March 2015. This also included the cessation of the Para name as a separate brand in the Freedom Group. [13]

Custom P14-45 was one of the most popular Para pistols

I like my current Remington R1 stainless and it looks like they either made or are going to come out with a 15 round double stack R1, I can't find one in stock any place but it looks like they are or were going for around $900.00.....heck I can purchase a double tote sack full of M1911 7 round magazines for my current R1 for that price and just load them the night before heading to the range. :)

I may kick around the idea of the Rock Island double stack.....it's affordable and I know two fellas that have them in standard seven round versions and they're very happy with them.

I'm not crazy about fiber optic front sights (prefer a three dot) or skeletonized target triggers and hammers but here's a pic of the R1.
