Warthog is not a good pistol. I wanted one bad many years ago, when I didn’t know any better. Got one, jammomatic piece of garbage. Traded in for a significant loss and was happy to do so.

We went to look at it today. $699. I told him no way. Doesn’t feel right, lots of dings, scratches and the idiot marks.

Question how is he going to gun shop to buy one. the last ones sold out of Sportsmans was over 5 years ago. they are no longer made.unless the shop you know had one old stock laying around.even cdnn is getting low on the original mags for sale and upped the price to $33 bucks now.

check out the Rocky if he has to have small hi cap 45 auto.its not pricy.....cost of a glock.and all metal. and with the cdnn mags and the sleeves you get 14 shot. And i don't consider the gun any handfull. handle a Smith 500 magnum {I should know had them and sold them} they are over the top in cal and blast and recoil,get it done,its no big deal he's buying a gun..

I meant to answer your earlier post. We are behind enemy lines in CT, 10rd max. I like ur suggestion though. I think 1911’s should be single stack. He loves my Kimber Ultra Carry II.

I have owned the Para-Ordinance P14-45 since around 1995 and purchased it new. It was manufactured in Canada and is a fine handgun. I haven't shot it in recent years, but when I was shooting it, it was flawless. I have large hands and it fits my grip well. The only 45 ACP handgun I like better is my Glock 21.4. What else can I say?

Had this since 2009. My first CCW. Mainly gone to lighter Glocks, but still carry on occasion. Always works fine.

The Warthog was a total POS, quite frankly

And why was that?the canadians can't build a gun or material and labor issues...

Would not feed. The design of the feed ramp was way too steep. That short barrel mixed with the double stack mag was a terrible design.

The Para Warthog was the only 1911 I ever owned that I can honestly say was a total, unfixable PoS.

I give the early Para folks credit for championing the double stack 1911 and the short barrel Warthog was an innovation. But the company couldn't cut it in the marketplace. QA went in the crapper and then Remington scooped them up for cheap. That made it worse for Para owners. The Warthog is the Yugo of the gun world. Some of Para's early guns were quite good.

I believe Kimber is on the same trajectory. Time will tell.

Crap parts and couldn’t run through a magazine without issues.

Garbage. I’m glad they’re defunct. We don’t any anymore crap 1911’s on the market

I do have an old P14 that has always been reliable. It’s deep in the safe at this point but I did shoot it for many years and it was always trouble free. It’s an early Para though

 

[jdpete]

I believe I have the ultimate .40 double stack. It’s an STI Edge. Best shooting pistol I have ever had in my hand. In a single stack the Springfield TRP in .45 is a great single stack

Thanks for all the replies and insight guys. My buddy didn’t buy it on Tuesday and I don’t think he is going to. I personally didn’t like the feel of it.

HERE IS THE FULL SIZE ROCKY. 15 shot. might be too bad ARSE for SOME girly men. The Marine grips are overlayed over it. because i have the checkered wood on them now.Might be more to his liking for
