The Para .45 is a semi-automatic pistol featured in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.
Loosely based on the Colt Rail Gun and the M1911A1, it is the standard sidearm of Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer, effectively replacing the 92FS - 9mm and the Para 9 as the player's default handgun. The Para .45 is also widely used by Shoreline and Azav's insurgents.
Rafe Adler's signature weapon is a custom engraved Colt 1911 Government. It features a blued finish and scroll engraving, adorned with pearl grips and Colt medallions.

Tips[]
- The Para .45 is a solid pick as a secondary weapon.
- If upgraded (using the modifications), it can even compete with some primary weapons.
- The Para .45 is a complete upgrade over the Aegis 9mm.
- The Para .45 is a viable replacement to the Raffica and Fossa R-81 if you prefer a semi-automatic weapon and/or you want a pistol with higher damage.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy[]
The MRKX .45 is Chloe's primary pistol of choice. It is also commonly used by Asav's men.
Design[]
The appearance of the Para .45 is based on a hybrid between a Colt Rail Gun and a vintage M1911A1. It has the Colt M1913 Picatinny rail, Novak rear sight, slanting front and rear slide serrations, and the black finish of a Colt Rail Gun. It has an M1911A1 spur-hammer, front sight, trigger, lanyard loop, and non-beavertailed grip safety. It incorrectly holds 12 rounds in a 7-round magazine. This could possibly be derived from the Para Ordnance P14, an M1911A1-derived pistol with a wider grip and double-stack magazine, but if so 12 rounds would still be incorrect as the Para P14 has a 14-round magazine.
Trivia[]
- It replaces the Para 9 from Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
- In the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, the Para .45's name was changed to MRKX .45, though it is the same gun gameplay wise.
- Drake carries the gun with the hammer uncocked, and when he shoots the first round the hammer cocks itself. This is inaccurate, since the gun is based on the M1911a1, which is a single action pistol, meaning that Drake would have to manually cock the hammer either by pulling it or by racking the slide.
