What can you all tell me about the LDA's?
Friend showed up with a new one. I think it was a P-7? It was full sized, 5", takes regular 1911 mags and is DAO.
I liked it as a first impression but it struck me as kinda weird. The safety is engaged with hammer down of course, it being a DAO. I found myself wanting to cock it first before engaging the safety, 1911 habit.
The trigger is the lightest smoothest DAO trigger I've ever felt. Impressive to say the least but struck me as possibly too light for a DAO? What niche would this fill? People buy DAO's for the safety factor of not being able to be comfortable with single action auto triggers, yet want the slimness, fast reloads etc., right?
The safety disengages the trigger from function but does not lock the hammer. AD/ND waiting to happen? Even if holstered. Or did I not spend enough time with it and have missed something here?
The 'Bic-pen' spring in the frame struck me as odd & kinda cheesy looking setup but wadda I know? I spent a whole ten minutes with it. I don't know, it seems like its got a somewhat reversed manual of arms from a 1911 (safety wise) and would not be a good choice for 1911 owners for that reason. Will this thing fire if safety on and hammer snagged and released? Seems like it would've.
Tell me about yours, any problems experianced with them, ND's, reliability and so forth. Correct me where I'm wrong in what I've said. My buddy said its super accurate also....
