Western Arms products are gas guns made of high-density plastic, allowing you to enjoy the same realistic weight as a real firearm.
The "Magna Blowback" mechanism, which controls the heart of the gun, allows you to experience powerful recoil shock, just like a real gun, for realistic and thrilling shooting. It uses safe low-pressure gas to fire 6mm BBs using the same process as a real firearm.

A high-capacity 1911 that boasts the strongest specifications in the Magna Blowback series, equipped with an aluminum tactical suppressor and custom G10 grips

The Tactical Evolution of the 1911 = High Capacity

Since the 1980s, the high-capacity (multi-round) 1911 auto, which developed as a race gun for competitive shooting, has undergone more tactically specialized updates and is now attracting attention as the hottest duty gun.

Currently, more than 280 law enforcement agencies nationwide, starting with the SOG team of the US Marshals special forces belonging to the US Department of Justice, as well as the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) SWAT and Texas Rangers, have adopted or authorized high-capacity 1911s as standard equipment.

The reason why high-capacity (or double-stack) frames are chosen for duty use is that they can achieve multi-round capacity of 14 rounds with .45 caliber ammunition and 18 or more rounds with .38 caliber ammunition, while still maintaining the proven excellent operability and reliability of the 1911.

Another Double Stack 1911 = Widebody

The first double-stack 1911 that comes to mind is probably the modular frame developed by TRI (Tripp Research Inc, the predecessor of STI) around 1993.

The modular frame features a structure that combines a metal chassis called a subframe with a reinforced resin frame that integrates the trigger guard and grip section.

In the United States today, double-stack 1911s with this structure are generally referred to collectively as "2011." (Originally, 2011 was a trademark of STI, now Staccato 2011, LLC.)

And categorized differently from these are double-stack 1911s referred to as "widebody."

The widebody 1911 was developed by PARA-Ordnance (hereinafter ParaOrd), established in Ontario, Canada in 1985.

At the time, the firearms market was advocating for multi-round automatic handguns, triggered by trials for a new official US military pistol.

This trend, known as the "wonder nine," referred to the development of handguns equipped with double-stack magazines capable of holding at least 15 rounds of 9mm x 19 ammunition, which was adopted as the NATO standard loading method in 1962.

Ted Sabo, one of the managers of ParaOrd and an enthusiast of 1911 pistols, began to explore the idea of integrating this wonder nine concept with the tradition of the 1911 invented by the great John M. Browning.

In 1988, ParaOrd announced a kit consisting of a widebody 1911 frame and a double-stack magazine that could be retrofitted with existing 1911 slide assemblies.

The frame of this kit was made of light alloy to avoid increasing the overall weight of the gun, and the grip section, including the panels, was only 1/8 inch thicker, which was an excellent design.

After approximately two years of product development, the ParaOrd 13-shot .45 kit was released to the market, and several years later, the company announced its first complete pistol, the P14 .45.

Jet Black Double Stack 1911 Black Ops

ParaOrd relocated to Pineville, North Carolina in 2009 and later became Para USA, a wholly owned American company. (It has since been acquired by Freedom Group, a diversified firearms conglomerate.)

The Black Ops, released as Para USA, was produced as a variant with tactical objectives in mind, as its name suggests.

The slide, which inherits the traditional 1911 design, features wide, machined cocking serrations not only at the rear but also at the front, creating a tactical appearance and offering practicality for easy operation even with gloved hands.

The dovetailed front sight is a white dot specification. Combined with the low-mount tactical rear sight, it provides an excellent sight picture.

The Novak-type rear sight mounted at the rear has a distinctive voluminous shape, making it an excellent tactical sight that resists deformation even if dropped and has a snag-free form that minimizes snagging on clothing.

The aluminum machined bushing-type barrel is equipped with an M14 thread (clockwise thread) that allows a suppressor to be directly attached without the need for adapters.

The barrel itself is made of machined aluminum with weight reduction in mind to minimize the effect of slide operation when a suppressor is attached. A thread protector is included to protect the M14 threaded portion when not in use as an attachment.

The steel full-length guide rod, parallel to the barrel, helps to ensure reliable expansion and contraction of the recoil spring while achieving a top-heavy balance.

Custom points of the frame assembly

One of the charms of ParaOrd's widebody is its traditional form, which retains the 1911 Colt design while being double-stacked.

The Picatinny rail, reproduced as a robust separate metal part on the dust cover of the frame, is a regular length with three slots, which is common today, and can accommodate equipment of any size.

The frame sides are packed with custom parts required for professional use, boasting high operability as a tactical gun.

The base of the ambidextrous extended thumb safety, which can be operated from both left and right sides, has a red dot that indicates whether the safety is on or off.

The hammer employs a ring-shaped skeleton hammer designed for faster lock time. The high-ride grip safety is designed to prevent injury to the base of the thumb from the hammer when gripping high, and it has a memory bump at the bottom, providing high operability that allows the grip safety to be disengaged without conscious effort.

The match-grade trigger with an internal adjustment screw uses thoroughly lightweight resin parts.

High-grade specification with G10 grips as standard equipment

The blacked-out left and right grip panels feature custom G10 grips specially made for this model.

G10 material is an artificial material made by compressing and hardening fiberglass and epoxy resin under high pressure. It is favored for grips on real firearms and knives due to its excellent durability and water resistance.

The panel surface features a composite anti-slip pattern, and the reliable grip unique to G10 material provides a secure grip and a genuine feel.

Purchase Bonus: Free Suppressor

As a special package for the third installment of the WA 2026 Lucky Bag model, all customers who purchase will receive an aluminum tactical suppressor as a gift.

The slim suppressor (23mm diameter, 127mm overall length), which fits perfectly on a handgun, is an excellent product designed so as not to interfere with sighting even when attached.

It has urethane sound-absorbing material inside, which has the effect of absorbing the sound of BB shots. (Note: The sound of the blowback action will not be eliminated, so there is no suppressor effect when dry firing.)

The double-stack 1911, which follows the battle-proven Colt 1911 platform and has undergone tactical updates.

Experience the new generation double-stack 1911 auto in your hands with the ParaOrd Black Ops, which boasts high potential feedback from the shooting performance cultivated in race guns, and the overwhelming power of the highest class gas blowback handgun delivered from a large capacity gas tank.
