The plastic Bul M5 Ultra X from Charles Daly is smaller than a Colt Officer's Model, holds 10 + 1 and weighs less than the small Colt. That combination is pretty attractive to many people. Now that said, the Para Ordnance Warthog is an aluminum framed 10 +1 sub-compact 45acp and it weighs the same as the Bul M5 Ultra X. The difference between the two simply boils down to personal choice and feel in the hand. But the Ultra X is going to be about a half pound less weight hanging from your belt, that is a 25% weight reduction.
I already own a Para Warthog, so I'm looking at the Ultra X in 9mm because I see no reason to have 2 virtually identical carry grade guns. For me, another reason I want the 9mm is that it would be nice to have something else in 9mm so my daughter has an easier time shooting.
