HAWGS: Stronger,
Tougher and More
Firepower than Any
Other Compact 1911
“The Para Hawg 9, a 24-ounce double stack
featuring the company’s bushingless recoil
system and massive, dead-reliable Power
Extractor... may well be the perfect platform
for the 9mm Parabellum.”
The Editors of Guns & Ammo Magazine
SLIM hawG
This Hawg went on a diet to give you the flatness of a single-stack and easy carry of
an alloy frame. The Slim Hawg holds 6+1 rounds of .45 ACP firepower in a lightweight
package that only tips the scales at 24 ounces.
Product Code: PSHX645R Match Grade Cone Barrel: Battle-hardened pros know that if trouble
is waiting on the other side of the door they can’t afford to miss. That is
why Para puts match-grade barrels in all Hawgs. The cone lock up on the
slide is the ultimate for hard core reliability in micro-compact 1911s.

The Handgun That
PXT Hi-Cap Single-Actions Created A Shock-
wave of Firepower
Prior to 1988, you had a tough choice: you could
opt for the power of a traditional 1911, with the
limitation of a 7-round magazine; or you could choose
a high-capacity “Wonder Nine” with a far less potent
cartridge. Nobody in the firearms industry came up
with a solution until Para rewrote the book on the
1911 firepower with the introduction of its double-
stack .45 ACP frame.

For The Few, The
PXT hi-cap ltd Brave, The Bold
Para’s Limited pistols were birthed out of the crucible
of practical pistol competition. They are the direct
result of World Champion shooter Todd Jarrett who
has championed Para pistols for over 18 years.
Jarrett has won more than 100 championships
including 9 USPSA National Championships and the
IPSC World Championship.
The Limited pistols are a total package that includes all the
most-asked-for custom features for a fraction of the price
of a custom pistol. Each Limited pistol has a full-length
recoil guide system that eliminates spring bind. Front and
rear slide serrations make for easier slide retraction.

PERSONAL DEFENSE ASSISTANTS
The newest concealment choice from Para is the new PDA (Personal Defense
Assistant) pistol, offered in either 9mm or .45 ACP. In 9mm, the PDA is the world’s
smallest 1911-style pistol. Its lightweight alloy frame was designed around cartridges with
the same overall length as the 9mm cartridge. This PDA tips the scales at a mere 23 ounces.
