Para-Ordnance or PT 24/7
« on: May 14, 2006, 10:26:59 AM »
I want to get another 45ACP. and I'm looking at the Para-Ordnance in Covert Black Carry CWX645E and the PT 24/7 in 45 ACP. I've heard great things about the PT 24/7, but was worried about the recoil and size. The Para-Ordnance is nice except the price and it only holds 7 Rounds to the 13 rounds of the PT 24/7. Does anyone have any advice or experience with these guns I would like your in put. How do they shot and carry.

Thanks,
Ghostrider

My Para experience is with the C-645 LDA. Very compact and thin, problem was, it weighed over 30 ozs! I have no experience with the Taurus pistols, but 7rds of .45 is plenty in a compact. I can reccommend the Kimber Ultra Carry for a large bore concealable pistol. A double stack compact is wayyyyyy to thick for proper concealment, for my money.

I have bad news & semi-bad news for you. My C6.45LDA would only feed Cor-Bon and FMJ rounds even after a trip to the factory. The factory advised against using Cor-Bon regularily because it pounds the gun too much and FMJ rounds are not my first choice for self defense. So, in my experience, the C6.45LDA, while it looks good on paper, is not a good choice for self defense.

I have no actually experience with the 24x7 so it may very well be a good gun but past expereinces with other Taurus autoloaders have been less than favorable. Their revolvers, on the other hand, have been pretty good.

Thanks Sir knight,
I have justread CombatHandguns that stated the same thing. They say it's a feed problem with the clip, you may want to try some other brand of clip.

Might be wrong but I don't believe that anyone else makes a magazine that sits flush in a C6.

Didn't keep my Para long enough to try an Officer's mdl magazine in it. If the mag release is in the right place,  these mags should work length wise. I've got the best of both worlds, an Officer's size and a Glock 36!
