Para, the leader in handgun technology, is the first manufacturer to score three consecutive "Gunny" awards from Guns & Ammo for its revolutionary LDA pistols. Para started the "Hat Trick" with the Handgun of the Year Award for the high capacity
14.45 LDA in
1999, and followed with the classic single stack
7.45 LDA in
2000, scoring a second Handgun of the Year Award. The "Hat Trick" was complete when the
Para Carry, the World's Smallest .45 ACP LDA, was introduced and won PARA its third "Gunny" Award for Innovation of the Year in
2001.
