Many of us 1911 fanatics affectionately remember Para Ordnance for their high-quality, affordable pistol offerings. They satisfied a weak segment within the 1911 culture by making double-stack 1911s in multiple calibers that were not only aesthetic and cool-looking, but they flat out worked!

Not too long ago, Freedom Group bought and absorbed Para Ordnance effectively marking the end of the 1911 manufacturer… Until now… Sort of.

It was always believed and rumored that Remington would re-introduce the Para Ordnance line through their branding. It only made sense since the Remington line of 1911s bluntly lacks creativity and curb appeal. Well, now that time has come. Like a smoldering phoenix pistol rising from the ashes, we have Para Ordnance firearms once again (with a Remington rollmark).
