I would like opinions on the Para Warthog from the people that own them or have fired them. I was looking at one of the new stainless ones. Its much nicer looking than the blued version and has a steel frame. Is that short grip hard to hang onto? Accurate ? I have heard Remington is going to absorb Para into their lineup. Truth or rumor.

I have a Para-Ordnance P10.45, which was the predecessor to the Warthog. Some people reportedly had problems with the P10.45 so Para stopped production for a year or more, and when it came back it wore the "Warthog" name. Mine has been completely reliable. However, I haven't run tens of thousands of rounds through it. I bought it partially "just because," and partially to have a small pistol with 10-round capacity. I don't regularly use it as a range blaster.
My hands are average, not huge -- I generally wear a size large men's glove. My P10 has flush-base magazines and I don't find it especially difficult to grip for shooting. A friend, who works in the shop at the range where I shoot, has an actual Warthog. He also likes it very much. His magazines have a pinkie protrusion, which probably helps a bit with the grip. I think that's the only type magazine they've been using for several years.
Yes, ParaUSA has been absorbed by Remington.

"Chunky" is right!
My first outing at the range with the Warthog, with some Wincherster red and white 230 grain, extractor claw broke on second box. Did some research and found out this was common place. Para provided excellent customer service, short turn around, paid for shipping both ways. This being said, I traded it off for a G20 and some ammo and haven't regretted it once. Good luck!

I saw one with the slide cracked in half..Winchester ball ammo. I can only surmise it was some sort of metal failure.
That was my 1st and last Para . I have more faith in 25 Titansuncoastarmory

I have a friend looking at these. Glad I came across this thread. Doesnt sound like a good option.
