I've shot both a Springfield GI, MilSpec, and a Para GI expert, and IMO the Para felt nicer. Granted, I only put about 7 rounds through each, so trigger time is lacking to get a true comparison. I avoid Taurus autoloaders in general. I'm sure they're ok, but it's just personal preference. Copperhead has a RIA that he loves, and they're fairly cheap, though reliable. You might check into one of those.
My Dad's got a Springfield Milspec which, I believe, is just a parked GI. Shoots great for the price. One thing I did notice is that the Para had a better trigger pull than the low end Springers.
