I just bought and tested (Para 14.45 test) a Para Ord 14.45 LDA Limited that is really making me happy with it's accuracy and reliability so far.
I don't care for the stock grip panels that P-O supplies and like the cocobolo panels...especially on a stainless pistol. I've only owned pistols with rubber textured or checkered panels...never smooth...but smooth grips sure let the beautiful grain show. Reference this pic from "yesterdaysyouth" of his beautiful 7.45 LDA
The LDA Limited already has a checkered mainspring housing and scalloped lines cut on the front strap. What is your experience with smooth panels...do you loose significant grip with these?
NOTE: this is not a carry gun, nor is it a serious competition gun. More fun recreation and light-competition (local 3 gun comp). I'm also not worried about loosing grip when my one non-injured hand is bloodied during a gun fight so don't bring that into the conversation
