Para Ordnance CCW745S LDA .45 ACP Compact 1911 – 4.25" Stainless Barrel, Black Ion-Bond Finish, Canadian-Made
The CCW745S blends Para Ordnance’s innovative Light Double Action trigger with a compact 1911 profile built for concealed carry. Made in Canada before the brand’s U.S. move, this model combines a Commander-length 4.25" barrel with an Officer-length grip frame, offering a balance of shootability and concealability. A black ion-bond finish over forged stainless steel, carry-melt edges, and Para’s Power Extractor set this discontinued pistol apart for shooters who appreciate practical refinements backed by proven Canadian manufacturing quality.

Para’s patented Light Double Action (LDA) system delivers a consistent 6 lb trigger pull while preserving full 1911 ergonomics and safety features. The flush bobbed hammer eliminates snag points without sacrificing reliability.
The slide wears a durable black ion-bond finish and features a lowered and flared ejection port, carry-melt edges, and the oversized Power Extractor for strong, consistent extraction. Three-dot, low-profile sights sit in dovetails for fast target acquisition and easy upgrades.
Forged stainless-steel construction gives the frame and slide added strength, while the integral feed-ramp frame supports reliable feeding of varied .45 ACP loads. The compact Officer-length grip accepts standard single-stack 8-round magazines, keeping the pistol slim for concealed carry.
This Canadian-produced CCW745S is no longer in production, making it a desirable choice for shooters or collectors who value Para’s original craftsmanship. Its Ed Brown match barrel delivers maximum accuracy.
