Para Tac-Four LDA
« on: January 30, 2009, 08:55:19 PM »
I ran across this little beauty at the gunshop today. I actually went in to talk with them about the Taurus 24/7 OSS in tan they have, it's $500.

Sad to say, I have never worked the action of a LDA before. Wow, is this thing cool or what? Very smooth, very, well, Light!! It's finished in olive drab, and would run me about $850 if I bought it. Nice smaller 1911, fits in my hand.

Any thoughts? I know it's a Para, but is it an OK piece or is it the orphaned offspring from Para?

I will have to do a lay-away as the pickup's tranny needs to be replaced first.

I have a Tac-Four and I like it. The trigger is very good. I originally was going to use it as one of my carry guns but I decided against that because I could not find a solution from Crimson Trace or Lasermax. If either will come out with a product for that gun, I believe it would be a good choice for a carry gun. Now it serves as my sometime IDPA gun, and as a full-time house gun. Good luck! I think you will like it!

I've handled them at my local store and like it.  It's on my gotta have list.  I'm sure MB would agree it's a good buy.

I really like the two LDAs that I have.  I think you would enjoy the gun but the price isn't anything special.  There's a green one on GunBroker for $750.00.  Buying used guns on GunBroker can be a crap-shoot at times but I've been happy with the few transactions I've done.  And not having to pay state sales tax usually more than makes up for the shipping fees and FFL transfer fee.

This gun is new, forgot to ask what all it comes with besides the step-van sized carrying case. Also, local shop does lay-aways for up to 6 months. With 3-4 grand staring me in the face for the pickup's tranny, if I want the LDA, it will have to be lay-away.

OK, so I have asked you all not to let me post when I was tired. I did it any how. Here's the update -

I stopped by The Outdoorsman. The pistol is a Tac-S, not a TAC-Four. It is an LDA, and it is OD in color. It is a single-stack .45ACP, only 7+1 (  :( ). It is also used, but immaculate for $850, comes with 2 cli magazines, replacement wood grip panels, lock, a huge carrying case, and a Video!!!

There is nothing on the Para site about the Tac-S, although I came up with search hits on the net, one from 2004. Apparently the Tac-S were also used in the gun bloggers shoot last year too. Anyone enlighten me as to what the TAC-S is - or was? It looks a lot like the Companion, only OD. Has a similar model number too.

I was gonna ask that question a few days ago.  The TAC-S make more sense.  My local dealer had three of them back in August, brand new but 2006 models for about 650 ea. with two mags, cable lock, travel case, ect...I nearly bought one buy couldn't try the LDA trigger anywhere.  I think the Companion has a shorter barrel, another gun I really liked the feel of though kinda heavy for a short barreled pistol.

That price seems a bit high but considering the political climate probably expected.  Buy it and give us a range report...
