Para Ordnance P13•45 Limited .45 ACP Duotone 4.25-Inch 1911-Style Pistol, 13+1 Capacity
This Canadian-made Para Ordnance P13•45 Limited is an early, first-generation double-stack 1911 produced in the mid-1990s. Factory “Limited” trim adds a match-grade barrel, full-length guide rod, adjustable sights, and ambidextrous safeties, all packed into a Commander-length slide and a high-capacity 13-round frame. The result is a compact, versatile .45 ACP that offers enhanced shootability and modern features while retaining classic 1911 controls.

The Limited series outfits this P13•45 with match-grade components. The 4.25-inch barrel and full-length guide rod promote consistent lock-up and smooth cycling, while the skeletonized match trigger includes an over-travel screw for a clean, tunable break.
A polished blue slide over a matte black frame creates the factory duotone finish. Rear cocking serrations, a lowered and flared ejection port, and a skeletonized ring hammer round out the slide features.
Controls are set up for defensive or competition use: an extended beavertail grip safety, ambidextrous thumb safeties, and a firing-pin inertia safety provide layered protection without altering the familiar single-action 1911 manual of arms.
Sights consist of a dovetail front blade and a fully adjustable rear, allowing precise point-of-impact tuning with a variety of .45 ACP loads.
Built on Para’s original double-stack frame, the pistol holds 13+1 rounds while maintaining a Commander-length profile—a balance that appeals to both collectors of early Para-Ordnance pistols and shooters wanting increased capacity in a compact 1911 platform.
