Well I lasted 32 Days before I caved.

[dsdmmat]

I had not planned on buying any guns this year, I was just going to build a couple and call it good. Then I walked into my LGS today and found a Para Ord Warthog like the one in the picture.
Not my gun.

 

[thegatman]

Very nice and match barrel.

 

[GOYABEAN]

congrats sexy little WartHog

 

[Marine Cpl]

Hey doesn't Phazer have one?

 

[togmaster]

We're here for you brother. We understand. No judgement.

 

[masterswimmer]

Very nice looking sidearm!

A moment of weakness, I am so not ashamed.

 

[1075tech]

I feel for you. Was in Pleasant Valley the other day "working". Figured I'd stop by Quattro's to see what he had. Sometimes he gets some old stuff in and I'm looking for a Type 38 rifle. Turns out he just got in a Type 26 revolver. That set me back more than a few Benjamins.

Went on down the street to see Scott @ Civil Armory. He gave me a sweet deal on an SCR lower.

Damn! 24 hours of OT gone in less than half an hour.

 

[Phazer]

Hey doesn't Phazer have one?

Sort of.

I've got a Para P10-45. It was the immediate precursor to the Warthog. It is a compact 1911-style double-stack 45acp 10+1. I bought it from a relative.

As soon as I shot it, it immediately became my least favorite pistol. Plenty of recoil. Not fun to shoot. But, as a night stand gun, it'd be fine.

You can get sleeves for full sized mags to use with it. That would extend your grip. I picked up mine for under 500.

I'm fine with the grip size. I've got fairly small hands and I'm used to compact grips (Glock 43, Glock 42, LC9s, XDS 9mm, and rifle spur grips).

I'm just not thrilled with compact 45acp pistols. I like my full-size Sig Tacops 45. I don't care for my Glock 36, either.

Yeah pocket pistols can get a little hairy. My Kimber is the same size as the warthog and I also have a full sized para frame with a 3 inch colt slide on the top of it. My little 45s bark pretty good.

Any one know what's the difference between .45 ACP and .45 GAP other than size asking because seen a clean used Glock in .45 GAP

Glock’s New Model 37 .45 G.A.P.

 

[Edwardteach72]

Yes the .45 GAP is completely fucking stupid and useless, overly expensive and hard to find

(Edit, no advantages of even equality to a .45acp so take a dumb round like a .45acp and make it even more useless)

 

[Saltwater60]

I have a para p12 and I absolutely love that gun. Double stacked 12 rounds of .45 in a 3.5” barreled gun. Of course it’s nuetered to 10 rounds for legal purposes. I shoot that gun so accurately I’d love to carry it. I’m looking for a para LDA for a reasonable price so I can skip the safety. I like the warthogs, but no reason to buy one since I have the p12. One day I’ll get the LDA. I got my p12 for free from my dad and it looks brand new.

Unless you can find a stash of 1000 rounds of 45 GAP ammo or brass I wouldn't touch one.

Issue with the G36 is recoil?

 

[MuttCat]

My first 45 was Para compact LDA. Loved that thing, gone now. I remember that the frame cracked tangent the mag released. Para replaced the frame no questions asked.

Good to hear. I’d love one. Well not about the frame cracking, but about loving the lda.

 

[Phazer]

Issue with the G36 is recoil?

Yes. It's not severe. It is certainly manageable. But, it's not a fun pistol to shoot. I find the Glock 19 much more usable, easier to get follow up shots on target, and has a higher capacity.

 

[MuttCat]

Good to hear. I’d love one. Well not about the frame cracking, but about loving the lda.

They have a pretty good take on double action, it was certainly light. I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

 

[dsdmmat]

The sleeves arrived this week. These make it so I can carry full sized spare mags with a full grip.

Do you think that something like the Kimber micro 9 would be more fun? Roughly the same size, less recoil.

I I haven't used the Kimber Micro 9:

I do have a compact 1911 9mm from RIA:

My RIA is a heavy piece of metal. That makes it very manageable as a 9mm pistol. However, its weight and thickness rules it out as a possible carry pistol for me. I'm sure that the fit and finish on the Kimber is superior to my RIA. I've got to smooth/debur the left hand side of my posterior grip where it hits between my thumb and index finger. It is machined with too sharp of an angle and cuts into my hand.

I like my Micro 9, while I did have to send it into Kimber when I first got it for a couple of issues, it’s been great since.

 

[dsdmmat]

I have one. It is a bit snappy. It is lighter and thinner giving it more perceived recoil, plus the backstrap digs into the heel of the Palm.

Nice looking pistol! Congrats and who needs to keep ot money around anyways? That stuff will just weigh down your pockets.
