I'm in the market for a .45 CCW pistol. I carry an M&P 9mm compact now and I really like the gun, no complaints. I just want the larger caliber if I can find what I'm looking for. I'd buy the M&P 45 compact in a heartbeat if it carried more rounds in the mag. It has an 8 round capacity. I know that is lot of firepower but I'd prefer more if possible.
I was looking at a Para Ordnance Tac-Four this past weekend. It has a 13 round mag capacity. It has the LDA trigger system that felt ok, different but ok. The frame was the same or damn near the dimensions of a traditional 1911. The grip was of course larger to accept the double stack mag but it wasn't near as large as I would have guessed if I hadn't handled it. I think it would make a good IWB carry piece. I did some research and have found mixed reviews on Para's in general so I don't know what to think about them.
My question for y'all is are there other manufacturers that make a compact .45 that accepts hi cap double stack mags? I know the XD and Glock compacts have hi cap capabilities. I like the thin profile of the Para over the bulk of most of the popular polymer pistols. The M&P I carry now isn't slim by any means and I carry that ok. Just looking at all the choices I have before I make a decision. Thanks in advance for any help offered.
