a HIsToRY of InnoVaTIonThe Para-Ordnance Manufacturing Company was founded in 1985 in Toronto, Canada by two handgun enthusiasts and childhood friends, Ted Szabo and Thanos Polyzos. From its inception, the company focused on firearms innovation.

In 1988, PARA made the dream of many a 1911 aficionado a reality. It produced a high-capacity frame and magazine for Model 1911 pistols. This solved the classic handgunner’s dilemma: choosing between the superior stopping power of the .45 ACP cartridge and the impressive firepower of high capacity 9mm pistols.

The PARA frame was designed with built-in plunger tube and grip bushings, leaving no possibility of the loose or lost parts that plagued the old 1911 design. Frame wall thickness around the slide stop hole was made 20% greater for extra strength.

In 1990, PARA determined that the only way to assure the total quality, performance and reliability of a pistol based on their innovative frame was to manufacture the entire pistol themselves. For the first time in history, Model 1911 pistol owners no longer had to compromise and could enjoy a 1911 with both .45 stopping power and high capacity.

The 1911 uses a single-action trigger and, to be ready for action, the hammer has to be cocked. Many people are simply uncomfortable carrying a pistol “cocked and locked.” But double-action pistols have a heavy, accuracy-inhibiting trigger pull.

PARA solved the problem with the introduction of the first light double-action pistol in 1999. This remarkable

trigger system is now known simply as the LDA. Unlike the 14-pound pull found on many double-action pistols, the LDA has a 6-pound stroke. The LDA gives shooters the great ergonomics of the 1911 design with a hammer down carry and a sweet, smooth trigger.

Constant improvement in safety, performance and reliability are the norm at PARA. The most troubling weakness in Browning’s original 1911 design was the extractor. Not having 21st Century technology, he had done the best he could with his extractor design.

In 2004, using the latest CAD/CAM design computers, a new Power Extractor™ (PXT™) with an articulating claw that was twice the size was patented, taking reliability of the 1911 design into the 21st Century.

After the passing of Ted Szabo in 2007, co-founder Thanos Polyzos was committed to continuing to produce PARA’s innovative pistols as well as the new designs that were in development. To bring the new firearms to market, it was decided to move the company to the USA where more resources were available for production.

After an exhaustive search for a new home in the United States, the Charlotte, North Carolina area was

selected. PARA started the historic move to its new corporate headquarters in 2008, along with the change of its name to PARA USA, Inc. The move to the suburb of Pineville was completed a year later.

On the 100th Anniversary of the 1911 pistol, PARA gives you the expert’s choice of the most innovative 1911 pistols in the world.

Power Extractor™Innovation, not copying, gives you an unequaled edge in life. And it is PARA’s patented design of the Power Extractor (PXT™) that makes you a winner. The massive claw of the PXT, right, is 50% larger than a standard extractor, left, giving you positive feeding and extraction every shot.

Tactical Target Rifle: You are the winner, when you have the rifle that Shooting Illustrated selected as its Rifle of the Year. The TTR’s next generation gas system gives you a true folding stock. Find out how the TTR will make you the best marksman on page 26.

1911 WILd BuNChThe hottest new action shooting game from the Single Action Shooting Society is “Wild Bunch Action Shooting.” Working with SASS we developed a 1911 that would be ideal for both their “Traditional” and “Modern” divisions. This official SASS Wild Bunch pistol comes with features seen on early 1911 .45s. It has the traditional spur hammer, solid trigger shoe, a classic 1911 barrel without integral ramp, no internal guide rod and two 7-round magazines with welded floor plates.

Product Code: GI45WB [Learn More onLine] www.para-usa.com/1911wild

noT JusT foR coWboYs… a dIe-HaRd 1911

The 1911 Wild Bunch was designed for SASS competition and it is the most traditional 1911 pistol PARA has ever produced. Wild Bunch Action Shooting is a scenario based game. The time period is 1900-1916 and the location is the American West.

Working with the SASS “Wild Bunch” we took our popular GI Expert and gave it the retro treatment. The changes included a traditional spur hammer and grip safety along with a solid trigger shoe. The sights are three-white dot which are permitted in the SASS Wild Bunch Modern Division but can easily be blacked out if you prefer to shoot the Traditional Division.

While the Wild Bunch may have a retro look, it uses the best materials and is made with modern technology. The barrel is a premium stainless steel barrel with a 1-in-16 left hand twist and it is crowned at the muzzle. The barrel locks up in the slide with a solid bushing.

The slide is precision machined to fit the frame and is laser engraved with the SASS logo behind the traditional cocking serrations. The wood stocks are checkered with the traditional double-diamond pattern.

WARThOGIt is a stunningly effective handgun. This is the original super-compact .45 pistol with truly awesome firepower. There is no smaller, more powerful 1911-style, 10+1 semi-auto .45 ACP in the world. Its three-dot fixed sight system has been upgraded with a fiber optic front sight speeding the acquisition of your sight picture. In 2011, the Warthog has a non-reflective all black finish.

Product Code: WHX1045RK

WARThOG STAINLESSNow the world’s most famous micro-1911, the Warthog, comes in all-weather stainless steel, so you don’t have to fear rust when it’s your job to be on duty no matter how bad it is outside. This Hawg, like the original Warthog, holds 10+1 rounds of powerful .45 ACP. The stainless frame adds 7-ounces of muscle to this Hawg to soak up recoil.

Product Code: WHX1045S

It is an ugly beast that shines with beauty when you need its .45 firepower. The PARA Warthog is the world’s smallest .45 ACP, 10+1 round, semi-automatic pistol. It is unbelievably powerful for its compact size... only 6.75 inches in length and 4.5 inches high including the magazine.

The genius of PARA gives you the reliability you need in a 3-inch 1911-style pistol, from its unique dual recoil spring system to its cone barrel lockup. The Power Extractor was designed for flawless feeding and extraction with the fast cycling time of the Warthog’s compact slide.

The Warthog’s match-grade ramped barrel delivers incredible accuracy in a micro compact pistol. But the innovations don’t stop there. The frames have integral plunger tubes and grip screw bushings and ultra-thin polymer grips.

Do you have monster sized hands? No worries, all the Hawgs come with a bonus. Like all PARA pistols, they are shipped with two magazines. The first magazine comes with a standard floor plate

for maximum concealment. The second magazine comes with a grip extension on the floor plate. It adds length to the grip, giving you more holding surface and better control, with no sacrifice of magazine capacity.

When you need the elite superiority that comes with a micro-compact .45, you want a Warthog.

hAWG 7If you want more punch in a micro 1911, the Hawg 7’s 3.5-inch barrel gives you more velocity and the half-inch longer grip gives you one more life-saving round in the magazine.

Product Code: PCW745EK

SLIM hAWGWhen you need .45 ACP firepower in a micro compact 1911 but you want the easy carry of an alloy frame, this is the pistol for you. The Slim Hawg holds 6+1 rounds of .45 ACP ammo in a flat single-stack pistol that only tips the scales at 24 ounces. This is the smallest of the Hawgs with an overall length of just 6.75 inches and a height of 4.75 inches.

Product Code: PSHX645RK

The Slim Hawg, a 24-ounce flat, single-stack .45 with PARA’s bushingless recoil system and massive, dead-reliable Power Extractor is the ultimate in a 3-inch 1911.

When you want the advantage of the .45 ACP cartridge in the smallest 1911 package, you need a Hawg. The pistol’s micro compact frame won’t mean a sacrifice in stopping power. The natural ergonomics of the 1911 grip and the beavertail grip safety give you control over the pistol, without having to risk hammer bite.

Choose from either the ultra lightweight Slim Hawg or the added muscle of the Hawg 7 with its 7-round magazine and recoil controlling Griptor frame. Both of these Hawgs come with PARA’s brilliant fiber optic front sight and two white-dot rear sight that gives you a fast sight picture.

Every maker of 1911 style pistols claims theirs is the best, but only PARA uses Super Dynamic Technology™ (SDT™) to make its 1911 pistols. To put up or shut up about the technical superiority of PARA pistols, Champion Shooter Todd Jarrett was challenged by Shooting Gallery Host, Michael Bane, to the Ultimate Hot Gun Torture Test.

How fast could Jarrett put 1,000 rounds of .45 ACP through a factory stock PARA PXT 1911? Bane knows that heat is the number one enemy of regular guns and he wanted to see how much this one could take. For a warm up, 1,000 rounds of 230-grain ball ammunition were shot through a stock out-of-the-box PARA pistol.

The pistol was cleaned and, on the Blackwater USA range, Jarrett started pouring magazine after magazine of 155-grain frangible ammo with a muzzle velocity of 1,150 feet per second through the pistol.

With three people loading the magazines to keep up with Jarrett’s trigger finger, the pistol started to get hot. Shooting 93 rounds a minute, it was estimated that the pistol’s stainless steel barrel reached temperatures in excess of 550 degrees. 10 minutes and 44 seconds later, Jarrett had established a world record.

We do not recommend that you torture your 1911 for 4,000 rounds without cleaning it. But if your 1911 is a PARA, it can take it.

Accuracy: After shooting 5,000 rounds, including the grueling 1,000 round Hot Gun Torture Test, the out-of-the-box PARA PXT 1911 was able to deliver this 10-round group from a benchrest at 25 yards measuring 1.92 inches with the center 7 shots grouping 1.02 inches.

The superiority of PARA’s Super Dynamic Technology gave Jarrett an out-of-the-box 1911 that could establish a world record for how fast you can shoot 1,000 rounds of .45 ACP ammunition through a 1911 pistol. A total of 5,000 rounds were fired through the pistol, and there were ZERo malfunctions.

In 1988, PARA took the traditional 1911 to its next evolution with its revolutionary high capacity frame. This was to be just PARA’s first step in a long series of needed improvements to the 1911 design. Two things that had long plagued the 1911 were the staked on plunger tube and the grip bushings that screwed into the frame. Using 20th century aerospace technology, these parts were built into the PARA frame.

The next step was to build a complete pistol and in 1990 the P14•45 was born. With the advancement in cartridge design, commercial ammunition makers

developed +P loadings for increased performance. In order to handle modern-day .45 ACP +P ammo, PARA designed the P14•45 with a supported chamber, integral ramp barrel for added safety.

The high capacity, tapered magazine in the P14•45 offers superior feeding. The large magazine well of the frame ensures faster and more instinctive reloading.

It has been over 20 years since the first P14•45 was produced and as we celebrate 100 years of the 1911, you asked for us to bring back this PARA classic as well.

Lifetime Service: At PARA, we believe that providing you with the best pistol means that we will stand behind that pistol 100% for as long as you own it. We will provide the original retail purchaser of any one of our pistols with all necessary service, free of charge, for the lifetime of the pistol, where adjustment or repair is required due to some defect in materials or workmanship.

The power of any handgun is controlled by the trigger. If it is heavy and causes you to jerk, you miss your target. If it is a smooth stroke, you stay in control, your sights stay on the target until the hammer falls and you hit your target.

Only PARA Carry Safe™ pistols have the light double-action or LDA trigger system. This patented trigger system allows you to safely carry one of our LDA pistols concealed with the hammer down. When the thumb safety is on, the trigger is disengaged.

Yet, if the need should arise, in one swift motion you can push off the thumb safety and fire the pistol with a light, smooth press of the trigger. The remarkable LDA trigger system has won four “Gunny” awards from the readers of Guns & Ammo magazine. The trigger’s smooth, natural stroke makes you the best marksman you can be.

We sincerely hope that you never have to use one of our Carry Safe pistols for anything other than shooting at targets... but if you do, we make you the best when it counts.

PARA designed the Tacticals from the ground up for the most demanding operators working in the toughest places around the globe. When asked to make them, we consulted the best gun handler we know, Todd Jarrett. As an instructor he has a unique insight into what the tactical operator needs. Many missions are fought in poor light. We re-engineered the front of the frame so you could hang the biggest, baddest flamethrower you could find off it.

The front straps of the frames are checkered. Whether you are wearing gloves or bare-knuckled, you can hang onto the guns even if you are crawling though muck. You

do not want to think about a mag change when under fire. The Tacticals have humongous mag wells on them.

These Unlimited pistols are carefully built by a select team of gunsmiths in limited quantities. Jarrett recommended using a variety of parts that are normally only found in one-of-a-kind custom pistols.

Designed to be working guns not fancy dress pieces, bonded over the stainless steel frame and slide is our new, non-reflective black PK2 finish. If you need a tough gun for a tough job, the PARA Tactical models were made for you.

The front strap of the frame is checkered 25 lpi so you can hang onto the pistol whether you are sweating in the jungles along the Equator or freezing in the Arctic. It has all the good stuff from Ed Brown including his National Match bushing, slide stop and checkered mainspring housing. We wanted a magwell that made JAWS look like a guppy gasping for air so we put a Dawson Precision on it.

Cylinder and Slide provides its Tactical II hammer, sear and disconnector for a clean crisp trigger. PARA’s Power Extractor insures reliable extraction. A flat, checkered mainspring housing mates to the Ed Brown magazine well to funnel the 8-round PXT magazines with alloy base pads into the pistol.

Don’t be stuck with a piston system when you can have the next generation gas system that runs cleaner and shoots softer than any other rifle in its class.

The Delayed Impingement Gas System (DIGS) makes this the Smallest Big Rifle in the World. If your rifle doesn’t have DIGS you might as well ditch it. This revolutionary operating system takes zero time to master – instantly start hitting laser-straight shots from any position and get

back on target faster than with hard recoiling piston guns. The recoil spring is over the op-rod so there is no “twang” in your ear as the system cycles and it naturally pushes the muzzle back down on target.

DIGS virtually eliminates felt recoil, making you the best shot you can be. And you get a true folding stock, which is one reason the Editors of Shooting Illustrated awarded the TTR, their Golden Bullseye, as Best Rifle of the Year.
