Please tell me about this gun and show some pics if you have them. I don't know much about Para's but love the look of this gun.

guy at other gun forum I frequent got one.
Sad to report his were worst Jam-o-matic(last i heard) with HP ammo.
And don't even feed FMJ that well.
I know he sent it back through dealer. Haven't heard anything about it since then

Mine was a single shot with a large ammo storage area in grip.
I would strongly suggest the new Colt Agent or Colt Defender . Couple less rounds but they work. I have both and love them Both also feel better in my hand . Colt also isn't a cast pistol like Para.

I've shot Springfield EMP while ago, and i liked it alot. It was well made, flowless little shooter. I say take look at it if you can

Mine was a single shot with a large ammo storage area in grip.

I bought a Warthog when they first came out, and it was the same as above. I traded it in on a Remington 7600 30-06.
The Warthog does have a nice mean look about it...but in my experience, they just dont run very well.

I've been eyeballing the EMP myself (for my wife).

I have the single stack Slim Hawg. It was flawless out of the box and has stayed that way. Great Gun !

I have been eyeballing a Nite Hawg myself but if they wont run it seems a bit pointless.

 

[sabalo]

I have 2 friends that own warthogs and they carry them daily.
They have worked from day one with no FTFs or FTEs. They run just fine.

 

[El Pistolero]

Michael, which do you like better? The New Agent or the Defender?

I had a NiteHawg when they first came out.

The gun ran great, but the finish didn't last long, after 3 months it looked like I had carried it for 10 years in a sand paper lined holster....OK it wasn't that bad, but you know what I mean.

I eventually sold it off, for me the double stack just doesn't do it for me in 1911s.

Oh, spare mags will run you $49.00 a piece from the factory, $55? from Brownells, and don't even bother with the Promag magazines.

 

[redmonster13]

Yeah, Para's finish seems to be the weak point. My LTC is already showing some wear and it isnt even broke in yet.

I am very interested in this thread. A female friend is very interested in one and loves the look and feel. For her sake, I hope the reviews here improve. What concerns me most is, since I will be financier, sanitation and maintenence engineer on the thing, it better be a runner.

Since I love worn looking pistols, the finish concerns be not at all.

A range buddy of mine has one and carries it a lot. His runs great, but it's still only one gun.

I've got one and it is my daily carry gun. Except for being a little picky of what ammo it likes, (Hornady Custom 200gr XTP, NOT +P, works great), it is a great shooter. My wife carries one daily. She loves hers so much she made me refinish it as one of her Christmas presents. She now carries a Pepto 45. See the picture thread.

I love my warthog. It feeds everything to me. You have to lube it quite a bit, but I have over 1500 rounds through mine and it only ever jammed on me when I didn't lube it well enough, and at that only about 4 times in the same shooting session. I trust my life to it.

 

[Wrangler]

I came so close to buying one but it was sold when I decided. maybe I was lucky.

 

[bubbinator]

Had mine 10+ years now, daily carry as LEO BUG for 4 yrs(with 4-50rd full power +P JHP Duty ammo quals a year). The finish is a bit worn, but it never failed to work with any ammo I fed it ever!

 

[lonewolf5347]

I shot one a few weeks back let me say except having a little heavy trigger pull the gun ran excellent with Ball ammo.
