The announcement that the Para USA label is going away reflects inevitable changes in today’s business climate, but it forgot to mention a couple of great people.

Associate Editor Joe Kurtenbach discusses the Para USA Elite Stainless, the latest addition to our Gun of the Week series.

Since the mid-1980s, Para-Ordnance, now Para USA, has been enhancing a classic American firearm, the M1911 semi-automatic pistol. Recent changes have kept Para out of the spotlight for several years, but now, with a fresh catalog of feature-filled guns, the creators of the “double-stack” .45 are back and ready to turn up the heat in the M1911 consumer market.

Para pro shooter Travis Tomasie was on hand at the range to highlight the features of the new Pro Custom 9 mm double-stack pistol.

This tricked-out, higher-capacity 1911 has a set of features that complement competitive and self-defense applications alike.

The Para LTC Tactical is a single-stack 1911 and incorporates a number of tactical features, including Para's Power Extractor.
