The Para LDA45 is a unique take on the 1911 platform, featuring a Light Double Action (LDA) mechanism instead of the traditional single-action trigger. This design eliminates the ability to carry 'cocked and locked' and alters the trigger pull significantly. The LDA system requires the trigger pull to cycle the hammer, but lacks double-strike capability, necessitating a slide rack for reset. The reviewer argues this design compromises the 1911's core advantages without offering the benefits of a true double-action or modern striker-fired systems.
World Championship shooter Todd Jarrett demonstrates the Para-USA PDA (Personal Defense Assistant). The video highlights the firearm's patented LDA (Light Double-Action) system, explaining how the slide's rearward movement pre-compresses the mainspring, resulting in a lighter and more consistent trigger pull for the shooter.
