Irrespective of which DA you like, the one thing that is pretty clear: the XD is unequivocally a SA pistol. No matter who wants to perpetuate the myth that an XD is a DA pistol, they have to deal with the fact that DA requires the pull of the trigger to cause 2 actions to take place; to first...

Why would P+ ammo be a problem? Kimber has always advertised their aluminum framed pistols as having been tested to 20,000+ rounds with this kind of ammo. If my memory serves me well, are they misrepresenting their products?

I don't know how that works but I saw it written somewhere that the Kimbers were de-listed for duty use in San Diego.

Let me ask you all if you are at all familiar with the new extractor from Para-Ordnance which seems to be the answer to all the problems and most of the controversy. Para seems to have developed something that does not disavow the Browning design the way all the other 1911s with external...

On the matter of the new extractor from Para, it seems to me that almost everyone would welcome an extractor that never has to be tuned to function properly while not detracting from the 1911 design. It is my understanding that the entry hole in the back of the slide is the same size as it...

In the spirit of the previous post, I have to ask the question: Why is Para, a company that manufactures both SA and DA pistols, left out of the polling when almost every other manufacturer known to the industry is included? Really interested to know.

When considering a DAO, the Springfield XD cannot be in the running because it is simply a single action pistol. Springfield calls it their "USA system", whatever that means, because they know they can't call it a DAO. Double action requires that a single pull of the trigger cause 2 actions to...

Do the Paras really negate any of the best features of the 1911? Paras do have single column DAs that deal with one of those objections or concerns. Hard to see how Para has tried to ruin the venerable 1911. A lot of people have claimed to be better shots with Paras LDAs because that trigger...

Prior to coming down so hard and negative on Para, I think one has to consider that Para pistols, single action and LDAs, dominate the competition (IPSC and IDPA) circuit among most major brands, with the exception of Glock perhaps in IDPA; there may be one more brand, I'm not totally certain...

By all reports, the up and coming pistol in the IDPA circuit is Para in their LDA models. And, IMHO, for good reason. The natural stroke trigger action of the LDA is smoother and sweeter than can be described; you really have to shoot one to understand. Personal preferences aside, given the...

IMHO, I think Ringer is on the right track. Para's LDAs are something that the market needed. A superb double action design with all of the attributes of the 1911; what could be better. Kimber and SA make fine pistols and I can understand why they're liked as much as they are by those that have...
