Para-Ordnance P14-45 .45 ACP Wide-Body 1911 with Colt Gold Cup National Match Slide, Two-Tone 5" Match Barrel, 10+1
This custom Para-Ordnance P14-45 pairs a double-stack Series 80 frame with a Colt Gold Cup National Match slide and match-grade stainless barrel. The result is a full-size, 10+1 capacity .45 ACP pistol that blends Para’s high-capacity 1911 platform with Colt’s competition-proven upper assembly. A bright stainless slide, matte black frame, and precision Elliason rear sight give this hybrid build both practical performance and collector appeal.
Condition
Overall Condition: Good – shows normal signs of prior use with minor scratches on the slide and frame.

What’s Included
- Para-Ordnance / Colt P14-45 hybrid pistol
- Three 10-round steel double-stack magazines
The wide-body Para frame delivers a 10-round magazine capacity while retaining familiar 1911 ergonomics. Its early PG0069-prefix serial indicates Canadian manufacture before Para’s U.S. move, a detail prized by some collectors.
The Colt Gold Cup National Match slide features a Series 80 firing-pin safety and a match-grade stainless barrel for tight lockup and consistent accuracy. The bright stainless finish contrasts the matte black frame for a classic two-tone look.
Target-oriented sights include a Patridge blade front and an Elliason micrometer-style rear, allowing precise windage and elevation adjustments. The discontinued Elliason unit is valued for its crisp clicks and low profile.
Competition-ready controls include a long, lightened trigger, skeletonized Commander-style hammer, and ambidextrous thumb and grip safeties. The single-action mechanism provides a clean, predictable break suited to precision shooting.
