Double Action 1911???

[Walkeraviator]

Does anyone make a DA/SA 1911??  I love the 1911, but without getting into the debate as to who carries in what condition (ie condition 0, condition 1)...I want something i can just aim and squeeze without cocking a hammer that I WILL carry in teh down position...

Para Ordinance makes the LDA.

I think there might be a couple of custom gunsmiths that do conversions also.....
(Cylinder & Slide does the Hi-Power, don't know about the 1911)

Para's LDA has the nicest trigger. You won't miss the SA aspect at all.

Any specifics on triggle pull?  I hate most real DA onlys...glocks, XD, and the M&P are a little diferent as they are partially cocked.  With the LDA, it wouyld be like the Smith 4046... and if the trigger pull is that heavy... i wont bother...

Para's LDA are legal in Massachusetts so the trigger from the factory is at least 10 pounds.

I don't have specific #'s. All the ones I've shot are nowhere close to 10lb's.
The best I can say is find one and try it yourself. It is smoother, lighter and crisper than glock, XD and M&P. (and I like my M&P a lot).

I just don't think it's a 1911 if it's double action.   To me a DA 1911 is....oxymoronic.   What I would call it is some variation of a Browning High Power(BHP), like a Beretta 92....or many others.

Now if you want a striker fired DA/SA then consider the Walther P99AS.  Only problem is price of both it and the magazines.

Here is what I want... da/sa like a Beretta...but i love teh looks of the 1911...

Then check out the Para LDA.

Alf stole my line of "Yes, it's called a Browning Hi Power " Which actually might fit the bill for you, other than looks it is what JMB came up with when advances in tech led him to reevaluate the Semi Auto pistol plus it's 13 rounds instead of 7 or 8 and 9mm performs better than it used to, and is less expensive than .45.

I wouldn't say that...

I've shot a bunch of LDAs, both  stock and smithed.  the stock leaves alot to be desired, but the smithed ones were not bad, just a very long pull.
