The Warthog pairs a 3-inch match-grade barrel with a micro 1911 profile measuring approximately 6.5 inches in overall length and about 4.5 inches in height (factory specs). Despite its compact size, it uses Para's double-stack wide-body frame for a 10+1 capacity in .45 ACP.
The slide is set up for reliability and durability, featuring a lowered and flared ejection port. Both front and rear sights are dovetailed and configured as fixed 3-dot units for a simple, consistent sight picture.
Controls and ergonomics include a manual thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump. The frame incorporates frontstrap vertical serrations, an integral magazine well bevel, and a checkered mainspring housing. Checkered polymer grip panels with Para medallions provide a secure hold.
The pistol uses a skeletonized commander/rowel-style hammer and a skeletonized, curved, three-hole trigger, aligned with the single-action (SAO) 1911 platform. As a discontinued Para model (with the Para brand ending in 2015), the Warthog represents a compact, high-capacity .45 configuration that is less commonly seen today.
