Pineville, NC - PARA USA announced today, a new edition to its Classic Series of P14-45 pistols that is designed for home defense. For the home owner that has made the decision to provide for his own security he needs the best self-defense tools he can get at an affordable price.

Many home invasions occur at night and the home owner is faced with having to carry a light and a firearm at the same time. He needs a light to be able to identify any possible threat. Having a light attached to the pistol or a light and laser attached to the pistol allows him a free hand to use a phone to call for help.

PARA's popular Classic Series of pistols provide home owners with major caliber, affordable self-protection handguns. One of the most popular is the P14-45 with twice the capacity of a single-stack 1911. The P14 pistols hold 14 rounds of .45 ACP ammunition in the magazine compared to 7 rounds in the original 1911 magazine.

The new P14-45 with Light Rail provides home owners with a high capacity pistol with an integral light rail that will allow them to mount a variety of aftermarket lights, lasers or light and laser combinations to the pistol. Like the original P14-45, it has PARA's triple safety system that includes a slide lock safety, grip safety and firing pin safety. All PARA pistols come standard with a cable lock in the box to secure the pistol from unauthorized use.
