I love the looks of this pistol. I’ve been admiring the concept piece since they initially released it unported. It looks like the ported barrel and improved sights increased the price a bit, but you’re still talking a reasonably accurate 45ACP for $700. I’ll have to find one to test fire. My smaller hands may not be able to hang on to this snap dragon.
I have owned a Para P-10 for over 20 years. I used to have some issues with feeding with certain kinds of ammo. I had it worked by a gunsmith and since then it works great. It’s good for when we ride on the bikes. 👍
Mine came with one magazine so i ordered 4 more along with 5 Pearce grip extension to give a full grip This bbr 3.10 shoots great - good video as usual
i just picked mine up a week ago. 400 rounds and 2 ftf and one fte i know the ftf was my fault because i hit the safety with my thumb. great shooting gun and not bad recoil. easy for my to hold, wile my hands are not huge, i have a size 15 wedding ring(wife told me to state that)i could get a good grip on it. looking forward to see how hollow points shoot!
My first 1911 was a gobmint issue in the Marines. Really liked that pistol. Then I picked up a used Warthog two years ago. I had heard about the feeding issues too. I tried differing loads and nothing helped usually getting a jammed round after the second shot. So on a lark I put a little wheel bearing grease in the throat where the round comes up from the mag into the barrel. Wow what a difference it made. My first 10 rounds went off without a hitch. All in the bulls eye. The next 10 we’re all rapid fire and no feed issues. I am of average size and the double stack is great and the recoil is extremely manageable. I love my Warthog!
@@harrytruman8447 The guys in the video had some jamming, might have been caused by limp wristing it (as in not the guns fault). But still one thing to consider is how hard that gun is to hold without limp wristing it anyway, tiny gun + 45ACP = probably gonna want to fly out of your hand regardless
I have to admit little guns aren't made for long range self defense, but this one handle pretty good. You have to remember a pocket pistol is made for up close self defense and a 45 ACP will definitely get the job done!
Besides the RIA 3.10 and the Para Ordnance Warthog, there's a red headed step child that many have forgotten about. The ATI FX45 LW Fatboy. It has a 12 round double stack magazine which means a longer grip, giving a better purchase on the handgun. 3.2" barrel and it's lightweight aluminum frame only weighs 28 oz. with a empty magazine. Made in the Philippines as well, but no longer imported into the U.S. I purchased one back in 2013 and she's a shooter and a keeper. A little bit snappy, but to be expected. I've shot every conceivable type of ammo out of it to include steel and aluminum cased, low velocity , subsonic and hollow points. To date , I have well over 3000 rounds through it without one single hiccup, of any kind.
I purchased an ATI Fatboy about 3 or 4 years ago. 12-round double stack 1911 w/3-inch barrel in .45 ACP. And it looks very familiar with that Rock Island Armory. There are some differences, besides the 12 vs. 10 rounds. Mine has very narrow front and rear slide serrations, my slide isn't ported, but I'm betting my pistol was the model for yours. Mine does have a ambi-thumb safety. The only thing I don't like is that the cases eject straight back into the shooter.
Had one similar. ATI Fatboy. Bought it with concealed carry in mind, but 10 rounds of 45 in an all steel gun is FREAKING HEAVY!!! Had to pull my drawers up every 5 steps!!
Not to sure about the correct information here but my Kimber BP Ten ll Ultra is the same size. Only made a few years & its a double stack 10 round magazine one in the pipe and polymer frame. I had the trigger worked on and Polished and she runs flawlessly with any type of ammo absolutely love it!
I like it if the bugs straighten out. I owned several Para Ordinances over the years and still have my P-12, all were made in Canada. Best handgun group I ever shot in 60 years of shooting was with a P-14. Hope Rock Island gets it right. Enjoyed the video, stay safe!
I absolutely love it! I'm a HUGE 1911 fan but when concealed carrying my full size colt it's pretty uncomfortable and even though Connecticut (where I live) is an open & concealed carry state, I don't like the feeling I get when I'm open carrying in public and I get people scared or nervous or have to deal with know-it-alls who think they know it all, tell me I'm breaking the law or assume I'm about to rob someone or someplace and call the cops on me So....this little 1911 looks like it would be perfect for me and become my new EDC! Definitely gonna look more into it and that price tag isn't too bad either! Thanks for posting, fellas!
GOD I hate karens that abuse 911 just because they don't have the maturity to accept they lost an argument. In a non-commie corrupt government, THEY would be jailed for misusing 911.
If its made in the Philippines and made by Filipino People i can Assure you there's Love and Realability put into it😊 Greetings From ResPhilippineArmy ARESCOM And me Res Army Cpt. James😃👌 Edit: I Mean in Every Gun Company when it Releases Hundred Thousands of Unit theres atleast Few Units that have Failures or Issues. Stop Hatin and Just Admire the Gun. Bunch of Purist😌
Yeah I was surprised to learn not too long ago that there's quite a tradition of gunmaking in the Philippines. There are even a lot of garage workshops where people basically duplicate, by hand with a file, all the parts of a reference factory gun and make their own firearms that way. And unlike a lot of the other examples you'll see where people copied guns by hand, like the Chinese Lugers or Khyber pass rifles, the Philippine guns looked factory made and operated reliably and safely.
@@angryzergling7832 Yeah and Most of the Rebel Gun Suppliers in Visayas and Mindanao is here in Metro Manila its just a Small Workshop inside a Big House or Somethin thats why there's alot of NBI Work Stacked up
"just consumers like us"??? LOL My heartfelt prayer is that someday maybe I'll be able to be a consumer like you! This is the first time I have seen this channel and I laughed till tears ran down. You guys are great! Thanks so much. New subscriber here.
Extractor is still a little stiff, so the last bullet can’t get up in the chamber, that happened in some of my 1911s. Chamber a round in and leave it in for a few weeks, that will solve the problem
Sometimes, on the little 1911s (Officers Model) if the magazine spring isn't ON POINT the slide cycles faster than the last round can get in front of it. Lighter bullets help too (185 gr).
Para also made the “Carry 45” with a double stack magazine, a flat hammer (sat flush with the back of the slide) and their “LDA” trigger system. I was fortunate enough to to find a used stainless version of that pistol. It is undoubtedly one of my favorite 1911s. Hard to beat a full size frame, with a commander length slide, that is double stack, and the LDA (light double action) trigger is just simply amazing in “feel” I know the 1911 was meant to be single action, and carried “cocked & locked” However I love to carry this particular pistol. I think Para really hit a home run with this particular model. I would love to find a used warthog one day as well. Especially one that has the “LDA” trigger. I have more expensive name brand 1911s, but for some reason I always find myself taking the “Carry 45” with me.
Carry 45 was a single stack Para did make double stacks with the LDA . The LDA was a good trigger for a double action, but falls far short of a traditional single action. If I could I would modify my carry 9 to a single action. That said I love my p12-45.
So I'm 2 minutes in and I have to say this. I appreciate that you never sweep the barrel in the direction of the camera guy even though you know its empty. Proper safety in place. This executes two major gun safety rules. 1- Treat every firearm as if it is loaded. 2- Mind your muzzle. And even a third that some people don't know or say, but my father taught me at a very early age; never point a firearm at something you do not intend to destroy or k*!!. Gonna finish watching now. Keep up the good work.
Big Daddy Hoffman for Santa Of The Decade !! He may not have elves & reindeer, but he's got toys for big boys !!! If you're lucky enough that he stops at your house this Christmas, please don't leave him cookies & milk !! Beer & a burger !!
4:19 i get the same issue sometimes on my RIA 1911A2 which is the full sized doublestack its always the last round and it doesn't matter whether I use the factory mag, para p14s or the mec-gars. Also I agree the mec-gars are good mags especially considering they are only $20-$25 brand new.
I had a Rock Island 1911 A1 or whatever it was called. Nearly as accurate as my Ruger SR1911 (which is very accurate) but I really wasn’t fond of the finish. To be honest I am enough of a gun snob that I just had to have a Colt so I traded it toward a Colt 1911 (actually the 1991). I love my Colt but I have to admit there was nothing wrong with the RI, and for $400 it was a hell of a good piece. But this little guy looks very cool and once I’m allowed out & about I feel the need to check it out. I haven’t bought a firearm in one and a half years so I’m feeling the need. Thanks for the video.
I ccw one of these daily. I have a 13rd ext mag with 3d printed filler sleeve. I love this gun! Im way more accurate with this then my 9mm. Great gun and fun video. Beware of the recoil spring coming loose, i suggest checking it each time after a few hundred rds.
That thing is awesome! I have been using a S&W M&P 9C for an EDC for years. I have been thinking about getting something of similar size with a much better trigger as of late.......I am glad I saw this video ...how did they figure out how to stuff 10 rounds in that .........I am going to consider this. Thanks for the share
You bring the gun to your dominant Eye !! Practice practice practice and you were Definitely limp wristing the Firearm !! Definitely a nice gun I’m gonna have to get me one !!
Neat pistol. I don't own a 1911 YET, but feel obliged to start with an old school Colt . I just love the classics . I bought an old Gretsch guitar and the last owner took off the pickguard and I spent months trying to replace it so I'm weird like that. I want to see and feel exactly what the original builder had in mind. This would be a fun second one though
I'll leave that one to y'all. I like Rock Island too but I guess I just like Commander or full size Government better. I really liked the SDS you had recently. Back to today's little gun, I really liked the gríps! Stay safe fellows!
I owned one of the Paras many years ago. Total POS. Total Jam-a-Matic. FTF every other round I even exchanged correspondence via snail Mail with Jeff Cooper on the gun. He made it the subject of one of his Cooper’s Corner columns in Guns & Ammo. His general take on it was that at under 4.25 inches in barrel length the 1911 design became inherently and intrinsically flawed because there wasn’t enough room for the slide to retract all the way in order for reliable extraction. This was before the advent of double captured springs.
I’m reminded of another compact .45...called a wart-hog. Made by Paraordinence maybe? Their P-12 is slightly larger with 12 +1 capacity...a double stack powerhouse!
nice! i like the playground in your backyard. 🤠 first time watching your channel. i think the pistol was marking its new owner - seems to have a preference, lol! for years i had a full sized paraornance 14/45. i shot that thing every month for about a decade. got to where it rattled when i shook it, so i sold it. never should have done that. realistically, i prolly wouldn't have been able to get parts for it at some point, though.
That black leather jacket is bad ass. I wish I had u as my dad. Your my favorite gun channel itv would be a pleasure to meet you one day n shoot with a legend
I used to have a ati fatboy. Which was the same size and held 13-45s. I put thousands of rounds through mine and it was very accurate and very reliable.
Hopefully they have got extended mags now, just two extra rounds would be enough and it would give your pinky somewhere to sit, this would also improve your control of the muzzle flip and you would have 12 rounds !
Do it while you still can! MidwayUSA and Armlist is your best recommendations, unless you can find it @ your local Gun Shop. Kahrs are really good too & American Made! But for that type of conceal carry, Kahrs are single stack. So it’s all your particular preference. However, you cannot go wrong with the Kahrs trigger, recoil, size and everything. Quickly becoming one of the Worlds Top 10 Conceal Carry Pistols. But this definitely may be my next purchase! Definitely agree, it’s a powerhouse!
@@OnlyHater_S Had a cw9. Couldn't make it through a magazine without malfunction even after proper break in, cleaned and lubed. And the trigger was dao and horrendous.. Couldn't hit what I was aiming at because of that. And very low capacity. I'll stick with my G27.
I always put lithium grease on any parts that move or have any kind of friction you can sprinkle a little bit of graphite into the lithium grease if you want to or even better effect great little piece thanks for the video
I have a Para Warthog p10 in my CCW rotation. Recoil is very manageable. I wonder if the mags are interchangeable as finding reliable mags for the warthog is hit or miss...
@Root Potato... 🤣🤣🤣🤣!! You may have a point there!! I'm 64 go to the gym 4-5 times a week and bench 300lbs... and I wouldn't "fook with that old guy"!!
This Pistol Kicks like a Mule! Would I carry this kicker or a Pistol when there are smoother shooters holding 10 rounds on the market? More of a question for 1911 lovers than myself, IMO!
I'm old school. Always clean & lube a 1911. New or not. It's a 100 year old design. Nothing to fear regarding reliability. Just understand it is what it is and it needs lube.
Nice gun. I'll stick with my Glock 36. I have Pierce +1 magazine butt plates and one in the chamber for 8 rounds. I've been carrying it since 8/05 and it's reliable and accurate. I'm on my 3rd set of night sight tubes and 3rd recoil spring. Rock on!
I think I might love the gun . Currently I have a Kimber 45 Sub Compact ACP but now carry Dailey a Sig P365. Very reliable with any ammo. Never a problem. Striker hits dead center.love it! My favorite carry gun. By the way, I have had to defend myself and family 5 times with a handgun and once with a shotgun. I’m serious about carrying. I would not be posting this if not for my S&W 36.
I was surprised at how manageable the recoil is on mine as well as being accurate for what's essentially a handheld howitzer. The ported barrel keeps you on target as well as being supercool looking shooting in low light with fire flashing out of them.

How much did it cost out the door?
@@dewayneeller they should have the 10 rd with pinky grip I know glock has them
Do you have a link for the mag extensions? And did you have to modify them at all?
@Nick Davis Thanx Dick Davis
That's nice. Love 1911's especially the full size but a small one that holds more rounds than a typical full size, love it!
"Hey Glock 26 we can't let anyone know what happened last night" -1911
Glock 29 is gonna be pissed! lol

If it's a reliable gun I might look into this.

That sectioned target is COOL. Great way to see where your rounds land.
I thought the same thing
Here am I, 3 years later, interested once again in the same pistol and once again impressed by the target.
Great trigger assembly.

This pistol is EXACTLY
what I've been searching for.

The LDA was a good trigger for a double action, but falls far short of a traditional single action. If I could I would modify my carry 9 to a single action. That said I love my p12-45.

Neat pistol. I don't own a 1911 YET, but feel obliged to start with an old school Colt . I just love the classics . I bought an old Gretsch guitar and the last owner took off the pickguard and I spent months trying to replace it so I'm weird like that. I want to see and feel exactly what the original builder had in mind. This would be a fun second one though
Gretsch 6120?✌️
A colt is a 1000x better than this thing
I'll leave that one to y'all. I like Rock Island too but I guess I just like Commander or full size Government better. I really liked the SDS you had recently. Back to today's little gun, I really liked the gríps! Stay safe fellows!
Definitely gonna check this out
I owned one of the Paras many years ago. Total POS. Total Jam-a-Matic. FTF every other round I even exchanged correspondence via snail Mail with Jeff Cooper on the gun. He made it the subject of one of his Cooper’s Corner columns in Guns & Ammo. His general take on it was that at under 4.25 inches in barrel length the 1911 design became inherently and intrinsically flawed because there wasn’t enough room for the slide to retract all the way in order for reliable extraction. This was before the advent of double captured springs.
I’m reminded of another compact .45...called a wart-hog. Made by Paraordinence maybe? Their P-12 is slightly larger with 12 +1 capacity...a double stack powerhouse!
I thought the Warthog was 10+1?
nice! i like the playground in your backyard. 🤠 first time watching your channel. i think the pistol was marking its new owner - seems to have a preference, lol!
for years i had a full sized paraornance 14/45. i shot that thing every month for about a decade. got to where it rattled when i shook it, so i sold it. never should have done that. realistically, i prolly wouldn't have been able to get parts for it at some point, though.
That black leather jacket is bad ass. I wish I had u as my dad. Your my favorite gun channel itv would be a pleasure to meet you one day n shoot with a legend
I used to have a ati fatboy. Which was the same size and held 13-45s. I put thousands of rounds through mine and it was very accurate and very reliable.
Hopefully they have got extended mags now, just two extra rounds would be enough and it would give your pinky somewhere to sit, this would also improve your control of the muzzle flip and you would have 12 rounds !
I have an older Para P-10, run Warthog mags gives me 13+1 and a full grip! Pocket Pitbull!!
That's great shooting with that short barrel.geat video.
Looks like a nice piece.
I would so love to buy and carry this little powerhouse.
Do it while you still can! MidwayUSA and Armlist is your best recommendations, unless you can find it @ your local Gun Shop. Kahrs are really good too & American Made! But for that type of conceal carry, Kahrs are single stack. So it’s all your particular preference. However, you cannot go wrong with the Kahrs trigger, recoil, size and everything. Quickly becoming one of the Worlds Top 10 Conceal Carry Pistols. But this definitely may be my next purchase! Definitely agree, it’s a powerhouse!
@@OnlyHater_S Had a cw9. Couldn't make it through a magazine without malfunction even after proper break in, cleaned and lubed. And the trigger was dao and horrendous.. Couldn't hit what I was aiming at because of that. And very low capacity. I'll stick with my G27.
Love that in the back ground you can here other free men shooting!
Pretty interesting little gun ,take care guys ! Peace ☮️ from Welland Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Mr.Grey Hair really got skill! It all about experience!👍💪🏻🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸💪🏻
Damn ten rounds in a 45 acp is dangerous.
For someone.
Dam Skippy glock 30 10rd of kiss my ass
@@silverbackog9698 I see your Glock 30 and raise you a Para P14... 14 rounds of come get some.
I double that 5.56 M&P with 12 gauge semi auto bullpump
Try ONE. Toast ...
I always put lithium grease on any parts that move or have any kind of friction you can sprinkle a little bit of graphite into the lithium grease if you want to or even better effect great little piece thanks for the video
Go way back 1911 fan, did switch to Glock 30SF, now have this BBR 3.10, full circle. Love me some 45 acp. 🤙🏼🇺🇸❤️🤠
I hope they improve the qc. I bought the full size tactical model. Didn't realize until later that the ball cut on the slide is off by 1/2 inch.
RIA does it again!
I have a Para Warthog p10 in my CCW rotation. Recoil is very manageable. I wonder if the mags are interchangeable as finding reliable mags for the warthog is hit or miss...
Thom Smith I had a p-10 and ran stock p-14 mags just fine.
Real life pocket rocket. That bih is sweeeet!
Rock on rock island, such a great gun!
Such a small Gun, but sounds so loud. Size is perfect.
It's a 45 caliber it will be loud.
That metallic sound you heard wasn't the target, it was the shell case bouncing of his head. 😆
@Root Potato... 🤣🤣🤣🤣!! You may have a point there!! I'm 64 go to the gym 4-5 times a week and bench 300lbs... and I wouldn't "fook with that old guy"!!
That gun! Kicks!!!!!
Sounds like my kind of neighborhood. Thanks for the video men.
Glad you enjoyed
This Pistol Kicks like a Mule! Would I carry this kicker or a Pistol when there are smoother shooters holding 10 rounds on the market? More of a question for 1911 lovers than myself, IMO!
Proud to see our Philippines 🇵🇭 made 1911 45’s
Is tested by Americans 👍🏽
Awesome!!
Sheesh 😬 so much muzzle flip, beautiful looking,luv the double stack
Thanks 👍
Them big ass hollow points swelling up jamming the gun
Snappy! I wonder what it was like to shoot before they ported the barrel?
For reliability, guns must be lubed before firing. That includes magazines.
I'm old school. Always clean & lube a 1911. New or not. It's a 100 year old design. Nothing to fear regarding reliability. Just understand it is what it is and it needs lube.
@@brianmacdonald3292 that's also what she said 🤣
That recoil kicks crazy! But 10rds out of that baby? Nice! 😎
Nice gun. I'll stick with my Glock 36. I have Pierce +1 magazine butt plates and one in the chamber for 8 rounds. I've been carrying it since 8/05 and it's reliable and accurate. I'm on my 3rd set of night sight tubes and 3rd recoil spring. Rock on!
I think I might love the gun . Currently I have a Kimber 45 Sub Compact ACP but now carry Dailey a Sig P365. Very reliable with any ammo. Never a problem. Striker hits dead center.love it! My favorite carry gun. By the way, I have had to defend myself and family 5 times with a handgun and once with a shotgun. I’m serious about carrying. I would not be posting this if not for my S&W 36.
sweet cherry beavertail pie.. beaver and tail in the same word. ohhhh
I was surprised at how manageable the recoil is on mine as well as being accurate for what's essentially a handheld howitzer. The ported barrel keeps you on target as well as being supercool looking shooting in low light with fire flashing out of them.
That's a chunky little gun. Seen one of them at the last gun show and picked it up. Feels like a very well built gun.
