NEW Para USA PXT Tactical 14.45
May 4, 2011
Para USA has released a new tactical model in their PXT line of 1911 pistols. The new PXT Tactical 14.45 is a 14+1 round railed 1911 that is aimed at the tactical user. The PXT Tactical includes Ed Brown’s match grade barrel bushing, slide stop and mainspring housing. It also includes a huge Dawson Precision magazine well to cut down on reloading mistakes and speed up the reloading process. The trigger set is not the stock run of the mill parts as other Para USA models, and instead includes a Cylinder and Slide Tactical II hammer, sear and disconnector. Finally, the Para doesn’t want you to run out of ammunition at an inopportune time and has included 5 fourteen round magazines in the package.
Normally, I don’t pay much attention to Para USA’s pistols except for project ideas, but the PXT Tactical and it’s list of high quality third party manufactured parts has caught my eye. Cylinder and Slide matched trigger sets come out of the box very crisp even in a drop in configuration. Although it carries the name Tactical, this model will make a great competition, range, or home defense gun right out of the box.

This is a nice package. I had a P14 when they first came out, and this is what I wanted to end up with. About time they listened.

You know how big companies are: they have to wait around and see whatever everyone else is doing and then run tons of meetings looking at market charts! :) Yeah, with all the standard single stack 1911′s coming out, it’s nice to see something a little different.
This is truly an “End of World” gun. Just placed an order for one this morning and it ran me $1359.00.
This hand gun is simply the Bad Dog of them all !!! I have put about eight different brands of ammo through it with out any problems. If you have gunsmith knowledge, smooth out the trigger a bit and you’ll love it even more. The sights are good for hunting but for combat shooting nite sights would have been better. over all…. BAD ASS….
