SF ParaOrdnance
 

It would appear that Para made a run of these for individual purchase by 3rd Group personnel, then made a few more for other SF guys. It has the SF crest on the left rear of the slide, above the safety, and an SF model number on the right slide flat. I understand that the 3rd Group models have a TF designation engraved there.

Steel framed P-14 high-cap in .45 ACP with the Nite-Tac set-up, but with the 1911 single action trigger. Low-profile tritium sights and a light rail. Guide rod. Extended ambi-safety. Scalloped slide serrations front and rear. Appears to be a KG type coating on the frame and slide.

Has anyone here seen one of these?

Thanks to Mssrs. Harsey and Reeve for making the great Yarborough Knife, and to kgoerz for the spiffy Crye bag.

Glad to see you didn't waste any time hangin' a light off it..

Lookin' good! :cool:

The model number is SF-45-A. I have one. The gun design was put together by a guy in my company who is a huge Wilson Combat fan. Gun is tight, supposedly with tolerances around 1/4000. The guy who was working with us at Para passed on and when his successor came in, he about lost his mind because he figured Para was lossing money on the deal. I had not heard that they were producing guns outside of our battalion that did not have the TF Desert Eagle logo.

BTW, anyone who has one and decides they no longer want it, feel free to PM me and I will take it off your hands.

TR,

Several of my 19th Group boys here in Bgahdad just ordered a bunch of them with "10th Group" stamped on them. I asked them why they just didn't ask for a 19th Group stamping and the light bulb hadn't come on yet.

The deal they got quoted was $700 for the pistol with five high-cap magazines.

And I suppose if they offered them to the old guys out here the price would be around $2000 or better. Nice weapon though.

You can't have one where you are. Holds too many bullets.

Might make you lose your mind and kill three more with each mag before reloading.:rolleyes:

TR

NJ mag limit is 15.;)

I stand corrected.

Five more sheep per reload, if you are using headshots, since hollow points (or as my in-laws call them, "dum-dum cop killer bullets" are also illegal there.;)

TR

Para recently did a limited run like this for the TX Rangers as well. (obviously with different engraving)

Hollow points are legal you just can't use them in the commission of a felony.

Isn't committing a felony already illegal?

TR

You can have and use (at home or for use at the range) hollow points in NJ. You can walk into any gun store in the state and walkout with them no questions asked. If you use them in the commission of a felony (i.e. armed robbery) it brings an additional felony charge on top of the original one.

Living in NJ really sucks if you're into shooting. I'm a little luckier than others in that I also have a place in PA. That's where I keep all my assault weapons and other politically incorrect items. It seems most of the politicians and second rate citizens of NJ have that disease called Liberalism so they don't really know what they are doing when it comes to laws. A prime example was the latest attempt to ban 50 cal rifles. They recieved a lot of complaints from black powder users who reenact revolutionary and civil war battles during memorial services and other occassions. Not to mention hunters. So what do they do? They come to gun owners and say we are not cooperating or helping them in passing the correct law. Now let me get this straight. You want me to help you take my rights away. Liberalism plain and simple.

Sorry for the drift off topic.

We now return you to the Para SF-45-A discussion.

What can I say, I just happened to have a spare lying around.;)

TR

I had been hearing about it up here but was having some trouble finding information. I believe they're offering them for sale. Sounds like I need to use some promotion/tdy money and pick one up to go with my Kimber Warrior.
