I have a Taurus PT-145 that I want to get rid of because it misfires a lot regardless of what kind of ammo I use.  I'd like to buy a Para-Ord LDA pistol of some sort, but I don't know much about them.  Does anyone know how reliable the LDA's are?  Are there any problems that have become associated with the design since its release a few years back?  And finally, has anyone else had similar problems with a PT-145 misfiring?  Any solutions?  Thanks.

I don't know anything about the Taurus, but I have a Para 7.45 LDA and let me tell you, it is sweet.  it shoots great and out of the 150 rounds that I have put into it, i had 0 malfunctions or hiccups.  very accurate pistol.  I am not a 1911 guy i mainly shoot USP's but this thing felt better than my USP tactical.  I highly recommend it.

The LDA I shot would jam every other rd or so. OTOH, the owner picked it up & rolled thru the entire mag w/o any problems. I own a ton of semi's so I wasn't limp wristing.

I'm entertaining the thought of getting a LDA sometime. Maybe a Commander size single stack?

I don't like the LDA's. I think a DA 1911 is the answer to a question nobody asked. But I have heard nothing bad about any of Para's guns. I doubt the LDA series would be any different...

I REALLY wanted to like my LDA7.

Trigger was rough.  Slide and frame looked like they were ground by chimps.  Trigger had a nasty catch in it.  The extractor had no tension.  The draw bar looked like it came from the prototype room.

I played with one at a gun store then had my FFL order me one.  It was no where near as nice as the first one I saw.
