Many regard the girth of the grip due to the double-column magazine as the primary disadvantage of the original concept of this product line. My P10 has an alloy frame so it serves mostly as a carry piece due to the diminished overall weight. 45 ammo in the P14 is almost tame in comparison. In fact, with 230-grain standard velocity.

I have not noticed the same muzzle rise in the P14 series with that category of ammo. Due to the shorter barrel, I have noticed a bit more muzzle rise with the lighter-weight bullet, higher-velocity loads that I prefer to use for home defense so I installed a Cominoli tungsten guide rod for the extra weight. 45 so it now sees duty as a nightstand sentinel.

My P13 is a sheer brute to carry with a full magazine of 230-grain. I have not worked on the recently-made P14.

I have worked on the P14 series from the 90s and their insides were horrible however, each of those that I worked on functioned reliably. I extensively modified each of them so that the P13 is similar to Wayne Novak's FBI HRT package and the P10 looks a bit like the current Warthog model. Each functioned reliably during their respective break-in periods. It features a match-grade ramped barrel, adjustable sights, ambidextrous thumb safety, and like Black Ops, has G10 grips and coated in IonBond PVD.I own both the P13 and P10 model c. The Black Ops model is also available in "Recon" variant with a 4.25" barrel, and Combat variant with high-profile sights and a 5.5" barrel. The Black Ops is the tactical model, differing from the Expert by having a ramped barrel, integral accessory rail, Trijicon Tritium night sights, ambidextrous thumb safety, VZ Operator Machined G10 grips and is coated in IonBond PVD. The Expert is the basic model of 14.45, it features a 5" match-grade barrel, beavertail grip safety, polymer grips and is available in black nitride or stainless finish. 40 S&W and features a 16-round magazine, and P18-9 (18.9) which is chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum and features an 18-round magazine. Other versions include P16-40 (16.40) chambered. 45 ACP and has a magazine capacity of 14. The P14-45 (later 14.45) is the standard model, and as its name hints, it is chambered in. In 1999, the double-action-only LDA modification, was introduced.

It was a M1911 variant that could do everything at a reasonable price. With the success of the kits, Para-Ordnance began manufacturing complete M1911 pistols of its own in 1990.


In the late 1980s, Toronto-based Para-Ordnance started selling "high capacity conversion kits" for M1911A1 pistols, consisting of an updated frame with a thicker grip to accommodate a double-stack magazine that was supplied with the kit, which doubled M1911's 7-round magazine capacity to 14 and a new trigger assembly with suitable dimensional changes to fit into the widened grip frame. Created by Para-Ordnance (now Para USA) in the 1980s, it was the first ever M1911 derivative to feature a high-capacity double-stack magazine. The Para-Ordnance P14-45 (14.45) is an improved derivative of the successful United States Armed Forces' M1911 pistol. Semi-automatic pistol Para-Ordnance P14-45
