why para

The Warthog is the original super-compact .45 ACP with truly awesome firepower. There is no smaller, more powerful micro-1911 in the world with a 10-round magazine. It is unbelievably powerful for its compact size…only 6.75 inches in length and 4.5 inches high including the standard magazine.

Only PARA gives you:

• The reliability you need in a 3-inch .45, from the telescopic recoil system to the bull barrel lockup.

• Incredible accuracy in micro-compact pistols with match grade integral ramp barrels.

• The ability to hit your target with a three-dot fixed sight system that has a fiber optic front sight.

• Two magazines, and on high cap models, one magazine comes with a grip extension.
