@ Kona,

It's not my gun, just a random image I pulled from Google. It is what I want to build though. I already have a Mark II, but I want to leave it alone because it shoots so damn good the way it is. But I do want a fluted, Olive Drab anodized Tactical Solutions barrel with a suppressor and under rail mount and the new 22/45 frame with 1911 grips. Shooting my 1911 has gotten expensive and 22 ammo is still cheap. It would be great to have the 1911 ergo's with a cheap 22 gun! Great..... more crap I have to keep myself from buying lol.

I've shot the Warthog, but only have my S14.45 now. They are nice, mags are junk. Buy Wolff springs for them, really cleans them up and helps with functioning. The one I messed around with didn't like cheap/weak ammo. The big/fast loads really made the thing function well. Accurate for such a small gun as well.

On the flipside...
Sub-compact/compact .45s have been criticized for less than perfect reliability. Also, Para is having some quality control issues with their newer pistols. I guess there have been a few more lemons coming out of the factory here lately.

I personally didn't like it only because I prefer full size 1911s. If i need a deeper conceal I carry my .38.

EDIT: They also make them in 9mm and .40, but can't talk on those.
 
Anbody ever used a knockoff eotech or aimpoint?

Thinking about picking some up to play around with till I get money for a trijicon
 
Thanks for the info on the Para Warthog. I'll do more reading up on them.

I have a full size Nickle plated Colt 1911. It's highly custom and was a competition (combat) gun. My dad built it 30 or so years ago and he used it a lot in shooting competitions. It was sold 20 something years ago and somehow dad got it back. He wanted to sell it again and I got from him. It's one of my prized guns not only because it's an original Colt, but because its highly customized and holds a lot of sentimental value to me.

I have a Taurus PT145 Millium for Conceal carry. It's a .45, holds 10+1, is single action, is extremely small and light weight but..... I HATE THE TRIGGER and I really prefer all metal frames (even if aluminum) and am not fond of the composites. I love 1911's, but I'm a small guy being only 5'9.5" and a buck fitty before I take a dump and the 1911 is just not comfortable to carry AT ALL. So I been looking into the sub compacts and micro 1911's. I've read a lot about reliabilities on a lot of models. I'm a good turd polisher, so I don't think I would have any problems tinkering with any 1911 based gun to getting it to shoot consistent and reliable so long as I start out with a decent gun to begin with. The Para Warthog caught my eye because the 10+1 feature which is appealing seeing as though it will replace my Taurus which has 10+1.

@BuellerPilot - I live in Phoenix (Ahwatukee).

My grandfather served in Ft. Hauchuka (spelling) and my other grandparents lived in Herford (30 minutes from Sierra Vista) so I'm very familiar with the area.

If it weren't for my job, I'd be down there, I like southern arizona more than Phoenix. Phoenix is a cluster at times.
 
Sidewinder, I am on the Beretta forum, but I rarely post, and I have never posted that pic there.
That picture was actually for my first dinner pic thread at Arfcom. :D
 
Heh. I coulda sworn I saw that picture there. Ohh well.

Anyways. Here's a quick cell pic of my Beretta 92 Elite II. I have several other guns too. No pics of them to show off yet. You might be able to tell. I use this gun at the range quite a bit.

I carry a Taurus 1911 ALR and love it. I'm 6' and 190lbs.

I did make an error on the previous post, they do not make warthogs in 9mm or .40, I got them confused with the carry model.

We have a gun show coming two weeks from now, I'll see what they are being priced at and report back.
 
Which one is yours :D. BuellChick and I were looking in Chandler at some houses, also in Maricopa since the houses are so numerous and all foreclosures, so cheap too.

I live at 40th and Ray. Friggin love this area.

Maricopa is cool if you just want a cheap house, but the drive out there will get old QUICK. I lived there for 3 years.
