Here I'm trying to figure out what 9mm I want with the help of everyone on this forum and along comes an offer.Someone offered me a Para Warthog 45 (WHX1045R) ,10+1, 3" barrel, 24oz. for $650. Its for sale here new at $1000+ tax. Sounds like a good deal for CCW however I'm wondering if I might have a control issue with this little power house? My other Para BWC LDA (CX745S) 32 oz. 3.5" barrel is already a power house but I can shoot it well enough using 185 gr.Gold Dot JHP. Does anyone own one of these Warthogs. I'm not into recoil I can't control??

When you get into that bad of a situation you ain't gonna notice recoil just make sure you can get a good grip!

Right good grip is everything for me. But shoot placement is more important. Since I'm not into spray and pray. I need to be confident with what I'm going to protect myself with. There just might be better choices out there. I just not sure how this pistol handles. Need some pros and cons if there out there.

Recoil shouldn't be a problem with that pistol if you are using good fundamentals like grip and stance. In a SHTF case , you will go into what is called a convulsive grip, as long as you can shoot it one handed , no problems.

Hi wisconsin, first with the right Ammo the gun has manageable recoil. While using Golden Saber 185+P it has.... eeerrr...... ummmm wide grin recoil. I will say my split time did not suffer greatly but El Prez did. Using that package added almost 3 sec.
The same gun is made in 9mm so that maybe a better option but as always trying it maybe the best option. You are almost getting such a good deal that you would probably lose less money reselling the gun than you would renting the same system at a local range. But you need to research that for your area. Hope that helps.

Man I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Chances are you won't be too worried about aim.(It's hard to explain firing on a bad guy that's 25 yards away- he's going to be 2 yards away) The stopping power is there for you. AND if you dont like it you could more than likely get your money back out of it at that price.
