Notes: This pistol is derived from the M-1911A1 design. It is basically an M-1911A1 with a widened grip to accept a two-column staggered magazine of roughly double the capacity of the M-1911A1. Several variants are available, for varying levels of concealments needs, and all versions can be found in blue steel, stainless, or duotone finishes. These weapons are reportedly popular with US and NATO special operations troops, usually in a modified and tweaked form.

The Nite-TAC is essentially a modernized and modified version of the steel-framed P-14-45. In its Nite-TAC incarnation, the P-14-45 has an LDA action, is finished completely in non-reflective Para-Kote Covert Black (except for the grip plates, which are made from matte black plastic), a chamber-loaded indicator, a spurless hammer, coarser cocking serrations, Para-Ordnance’s patented Power Extractor, and a squared dust cover with an integral light rail. (The drawback of the shaping of this rail is the requirement for a special holster, even if no light or optic is mounted.) The Nite-TAC has an extended slide lock and manual safety, and a grip safety with increased mass to help ensure safety engagement. Since the Nite-TAC is also available to civilians, it can be ordered with a stainless steel finish if desired; however, the grip plates will still be black.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Nite-TAC is not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline as a manufactured product, though similar versions of the P-x-45 series were modified to similar specifications by either the units using them or Para-Ordnance itself.

Notes: This is a mid-sized .45 ACP pistol, based on the M-1911, but featuring Para-Ordnance’s new Para-Power extractor for greater reliability. The Para Carry is built almost entirely of stainless steel, which makes for an attractive weapon as well as increasing the weight (and therefore reducing barrel jump). Instead of front strap checkering (which can scrape the fingers after a long day of firing), the Para Carry has a ribbed "finger groove" front strap surface that provides a good grip. The Para Carry is sold with its own 6-round magazines, but can use any 1911-type single-stack magazine. Barrels are 3 inches long.

More often known simply as the CCO, the Companion Carry Option is a slightly larger version of the Para Carry, with an LDA (Light Double-Action) trigger system and their patented Power Extractor (PXT). The LDA system means that a lighter touch is needed for the first (double-action) shot than is normal for double-action pistols. The CCO has a grip safety, thumb safety, and slide lock. The frontstrap has Para-Ordnance’s Griptor ribbed finish, and the backstrap is checkered at 20 lpi. Sharp edges are largely dehorned, and the beavertail is practically nonexistent. Construction is almost entirely of stainless steel. Grip panels are made from a synthetic material that Para-Ordnance calls Para Laminate. The sights are fixed, but dovetailed, and are of the three-dot type. The barrel is a bull barrel 3.5 inches long. Despite the small size, the CCO’s weight makes recoil manageable.

In early 2006, Para-Ordnance began offering versions of the Para Carry and CCO chambered for .45 GAP cartridge, which is growing in popularity. The Para Carry GAP is essentially the same in construction as the standard Para Carry, but is finished in Covert Black Para Kote, which is a deep non-reflective finish with anticorrosion properties. The Companion Carry GAP (CCG) is the .45 GAP counterpart of the CCO, and also uses the Covert Black Para Kote finish. Of course, there are some differences – mainly in the size (due to the shorter .45 GAP cartridge) and the mechanics of firing the .45 GAP round, as well as changes to the sights due to the somewhat different ballistics.

Notes: This weapon is one of Para-Ordnance’s versions of the "Commander" concept, being a smaller version of their M-1911 clones, with the new Power Extractor that makes the pistol much more reliable by making extraction more reliable. The PXT LTC is built entirely of steel, with the Para Kote Regal finish that is highly resistant to corrosion and is also gives the pistol a very attractive matte black finish. The controls are in stainless steel and make a nice contrast as well as making them easy to find. The Cocobolo grip plates are held in place by hex screws, which are also finished in stainless steel. Sights are of the 3-dot pattern. The barrel is match grade and ramped, as well as having a solid bushing.

Notes: The SSP goes full circle for Para-Ordnance – they started making copies of the M-1911A1, then went to high-capacity versions of the M-1911A1 and versions in different calibers, and the SSP is a highly-improved version of the M-1911A1 with single-action and a single-column magazine. The SSP features Para-Ordnance’s new Para-Power extractor, which is a far-more reliable version of the extractor on the M-1911A1 and many other pistols. This extractor greatly reduces the chance of feed failures and extraction failures such as stovepipes. Of course, the SSP also has the standard 3-red-dot sights and Commander-type hammer.

Notes: This is part of the LDA series; it is a small, lightweight .45 ACP pistol very well suited for concealed carry and backup shooting, with its short, coned barrel, stainless steel frame finished in a black finish which Para-Ordnance calls "Stealth," adjustable Novak Extreme Duty rear sight and white-dot front sight dovetailed into the slide, "hammerless" design, and virtually no grip safety spur. In fact, there are virtually no protruding surfaces on the Stealth Carry, except for the sights and the vestigial grip safety spur. The grip safety has a bump on it to make sure it engages properly due to its short length. The grips are checkered polymer, and the frontstrap has a ribbed surface called "Griptor" by Para-Ordnance.

Notes: A further improvement of the LDA series, the TAC-S LDA features all the improvements of the LDA series, such as a one-piece feed ramp, the multiple safeties, double-action operation, improved extraction, etc. The TAC-S LDA also has an extended thumb safety, special combat sights, a larger grip safety, a lowered and flared ejection port to improve extraction, and a beveled magazine well to facilitate quick reloading. The hammer is bobbed to such a point that it almost appears concealed. The TAC-S LDA is also equipped with the Para-Power Extractor, further improving extraction. The TAC-S LDA has what Para-Ordnance calls the "Spec Ops" finish – an olive-drab version of the Para-Kote. The TAC-S LDA comes with black checkered plastic grips, but one bought from the factory also comes with an alternate set of brown cocobolo grips with a gold-plated Para-Ordnance seal.

Notes: This is billed by Para-Ordnance as the "world’s smallest high-capacity .45 ACP pistol," and is does manage to stuff a pretty good amount of rounds into a rather small package. The Warthog is a small black-finished pistol can be a bit difficult to shoot, particularly to those with large hands. The magazine has a flare at the bottom front to curl the little finger around to help stabilize the weapon. The Warthog also has the new Para-Power Extractor that gives the pistol more positive extraction. Most of the pistol is made of aluminum alloy and is very light. At its heart, though, the Warthog is a tiny version of its M-1911 ancestor. A variant of the Warthog, the Nite Hawg (also known as the Stealth Hawg) is finished completely in non-reflective black, to include the magazines. A further variant of the Nite Hawg, the Lite Hawg, is equipped with a short MIL-STD-1913 rail under the dust cover and luminous 3-dot sights. It is otherwise identical to the Warthog, except for a slight cost difference.

The Hawg-9 is a modified form of the Warthog, designed to fire 9mm Parabellum instead of .45 ACP. It retains the same basic shape and construction of the Warthog, with appropriate changes necessary to fire 9mm Parabellum. Since the "Hawg" series was originally designed for .45 ACP, the Hawg-9 is capable of firing even the most powerful 9mm Parabellum rounds, such as +P and ++P loads.
