Beautiful. It looks very close to my stainless officer's 45 acp, but with double action, a little safer than cocked and locked. My 45 has a pachmayer spring and follower in the magazine that gives me a 7 + 1 capacity also. If this new one shoots like mine, it's a great gun. I'll have to check one out. Thanks for the post.

Concealed Carry Weapon

[Billthedrill]

Anyone who carries--and effectively conceals--a powerful handgun discovers one thing almost immediately: The butt is the hardest part to hide.

Man, ain't this the truth! I've tried everything - pantyhose, extra-tight jeans, long jackets, you name it. I'm afraid that diet and exercise is the only answ...

Oh. They were talking about the gun. Never mind.

There is a problem with cutting down the butt in pursuit of concealability - with both the Glock minis and my treasured Kahr Covert. the corner of the butt hits my palm at a rather sensitive spot, sensitive after about 50 rounds, that is. No problem in a self-defense scenario, of course, but practicing is a bit of a pain. I'm using a bicycle glove at the moment but there's an element of artificiality there. Extended-grip mags obviate the reason you bought the smaller butt in the first place.

.45s this small tend to be a bit of a handful, IMHO. But if you need it there's nothing like having a large, ugly chunk of lead to throw at the bad guys whilst you vamoose...

...giving the Para CCW a total on-tap capacity of eight rounds of .45 ACP ammo. If that is insufficient to resolve your difficulty, I doubt if any handgun will be adequate."

Truer firearms words have never been spoken! This bears repeating over and over again.

"From the standpoint of effective concealment, the less butt there is, the better."

Well, you know, I like big butts and I cannot lie...sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I just got back from the local gun show where I unsuccessfully tried to trade my Glock M30 45 and $200 + two high cap Glock M21 mags for a ParaOrdnance C6. That's the really little LDA with the three inch barrel. I first handled the slightly bigger C7 which I did not like at all.

Then I found a C6 and it just....fit. My best friend swears by his....so I gave it a look and it was just...."right." If that makes any sense. It fit me like I would imagine Excalibur fit the boy king. But I couldn't make the numbers work on the deal and since I'm but a lowly high school teacher, couldn't come up with more cash. So, I will keep my Glock M30, and save up for a new C6.

It's smaller and lighter than my Glock .45 and should be easier to conceal. That is especially vital for me in this very warm and humid area. I also believe it will accept the Colt Officer's Model magazines, just as the others will accept full sized Colt and variant mags.

Oh...Hey...Can somebody post a pic of that little C6??
