Through superior technology, Para President Ted Szabo was not only able to create a unique and novel frame with the double the capacity of the standard 1911, but also improved one of the weak points of the original design, the plunger tube. On the original 1911 pistol, it is staked onto the frame and can come loose. In the Para High Capacity pistol, the housing for the slide stop plunger, slide lock plunger and the plunger spring is an integral and inseparable part of the frame.
While competition shooters immediately recognized the advantage of more rounds on board their pistol, law enforcement and military shooters also needed the advantage of added capacity in highly effective calibers. Originally designed to hold 14 rounds of .45 ACP, Para expanded its design so shooters had 16 rounds of .40 S&W and law enforcement and military had 18 rounds of 9mm in the magazine in its full-size pistols. Para’s solid steel frame has stood the test of time and durability in all calibers.
From a full-length guide rod at the muzzle to the competition hammer at the rear of the slide, Para Power Extractor PXT™ pistols are loaded with extras including a match trigger, flared ejection port, extended slide lock safety, beavertail grip safety, ultra-thin durable polymer stocks and high-visibility, low-mount, dovetailed, three-dot sights.
Dollar for dollar, the Para Hi-Cap PXT has more custom extras as standard than any other high capacity pistol in its class. Only Para gives you ramped barrels and the patented Power Extractor technology for ultimate reliability and accuracy to give you the winning edge.
