Para Carry

[TheIceMan]

I just bought a C6.45, It has the black plastic grips on it. Does anyone know where I can get differant grips, maybe wood?

Hi, I have a place in Pike Co and hunt there also. I think the Carry 6 .45 utilizes an Officers size grip. Some one who knows for sure should be along. Check Brownell's banner ad on top of this page.


Best of Luck!

I also have a trailer in Shohola, live in Bushkill... Small world.

I have 2 p14 45s, one with the stock factory grips and one with hogue grips they both have pluses and minuses, I prefer the stock grips for concealed carry, I am 6,2 and weigh 280 so I can get away with it.

The Para Carry C6.45 is not an officers sized frame, it is smaller than an officers size. Officers grips will be too long, as the Para Carry is a sub-officers sized grip. I had a Para Carry for about a year, and I too did not like the factory grips, and was in the same dilemma. I wound up finding a post that said the old Detonics was almost the same size, and that grips for it can be modified to fit the Carry. I ordered a set of Pachmayr Detonics grips, and with a little Dremel work on the screw holes, and a set of standard bushings and screws, (the Paras have slim screws and bushings), I got the Pachmayrs to fit very nicely, and felt better than the stock plastic panels. I traded the C6.45 for a Para CCO, which is an Officer's size, and 3.5", and it seems to be a better fit for me.

Oh, and also, I love the Para LDA pistols, but dearly hate their magazines. All of them I have owned have had terrible followers, the bodys are not uniform in their width, most wouldn't drop free, and one, I refuse to even use it as a range mag because can't hardly even pull it out of the mag well with both hands. The Para Carry, with it's sub-officers size is the same size as the Wilson Sentinel, and I bought two of their mags from Wilson and never looked back at the Para mags again. They work wonderfully, but you do have to shorten the front toe of the mag base a bit to get them to seat properly ( I've had to do this for my officer's sized mags for the CCO too) seems the Para's notch in the grip frame that allows the front toe of the mag base pad to seat the mag are a little shallow, and it is much easier to file a dab off the mag bases than try and modify the grip frame notch. Do a search here for the Para Carry, and I'm sure you'll find some good older info, same as I did.

Good luck, and enjoy your Para-
