I had a last minute emergency, and I had to drop the cash I was saving for the sf45a onto a new mountain bike. my other was stolen oh well. Next run.
at least by then, there will be range reports, hint hint, nudge nudge.

Not quite, the current deadline for ordering is 10 Oct 2008. However, the program is not ending and another production run will be set up in the future, likely in Spring 2009.

They didn't by chance add a light rail to the Tac5 for this promo, did they?

 

[nza]

I believe the Tac 5 is gone. it is replaced by the dx18.9. There are slight differences that word twice can weigh in on .

The TAC 5 was replaced with the DX 18-9 some time ago (at the IPSC Nationals to be exact). It was a decision Para and I came to in order to broaden the number of people who may be interested. The two pistols are nearly identical but the 18-9 was chosen as it can be shot in both IPSC (Production) and IDPA (ESP). Here are the differences:

TAC 5
alloy frame
bobbed beavertail grip safety
mag well
no light rail

DX 18-9
steel frame
full beavertail grip safety
no mag well
no light rail

If they come out with a single stack offering I will definately jump in.

 

[Miraclejoe]

Tag.

Been pondering a .45 for long...

Same here. I'm passing on this deal, because i find para double stack grip uncomfortable. I would have ordered a single-stack.

Come tax return time...

Double ditto

I asked about that on the Para forums and the answer was that there was not enough demand..

Its a helluva deal they are giving us. But I dont want a pistol I wont enjoy shooting, even if its a bargain.

 

[sillymike]

+1 on the single stack... maybe next time

This been said, a big kudos to Words twice and Para for making this happen. I am sure you guys spent quite a few hours on this project!

 

[Deckard]

X2. I don't have the money yet, but maybe soon. Thanks.

 

[Garand]

I also would have bought a single stack, if they had been available.

 

[AdamO]

Bah! I still want a light rail on that 18-9!

I thought they were all coming in tan? I'll have to ask a guy I know who ordered and received(shipped to his home), as he is going home this weekend.

There were two pistols avail in the program. The .45 model is in tan, and the 9mm LDA model is in Covert Black.

Edited to add: I think the Covert Black looks better than the tan.

 

[sillymike]

One could always dream ... 9mm Commander single-stack...

Would be a pretty nice range toy.

Ah yes, black is very nice indeed.

Alas, I would have really jumped on it if it were single stack...but seeing these makes me regret somewhat because it is a pretty great deal.
