Para Awards

Para, the leader in handgun technology, is the first manufacturer to score three consecutive "Gunny" awards from Guns & Ammo for its revolutionary LDA pistols. Para started the "Hat Trick" with the Handgun of the Year Award for the high capacity 14.45 LDA in 1999, and followed with the classic single stack 7.45 LDA in 2000, scoring a second Handgun of the Year Award. The "Hat Trick" was complete when the Para Carry, the World's Smallest .45 ACP LDA, was introduced and won PARA its third "Gunny" Award for Innovation of the Year in 2001.
