The Para Carry wasn’t the first pistol from Para USA that I’d tested with their “Light Double Action” trigger system, but it was definitely the smallest. A .45ACP fabricated entirely of stainless steel, this little pistol sported a barrel just 3 inches in length, riding atop one of the shortest frames I’d ever seen on a factory-produced pistol. With its frame measuring some 0.25 of an inch shorter than a Colt Officer’s Model, the Para Carry held some six rounds in its magazine, making it a seven-shooter with one up the spout.
