D.A 1911s

[Johnny C]

I have been thinking that a mini Double action 1911 in .45 would make a nice carry gun. Other than the old conversions I can think of the Para Ordinance LDA, and Colt is supposed to have a DA agent, though I havent seen one outside the Internet.

Any others and what are your experiences?

I think it takes the best aspect of the 1911, its trigger, and replaces it with something outside "the design".

Fixing a problem that doesnt exist IMO.

plenty of DA choices, very few SA choices, why make the SA choice DA?

There's no such thing as a DA 1911. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'. Know what I'm sayin'?

Are you saying there really isn't a DA 1911, or are you just exclaiming that one should never have the DA moniker?

I'm saying....that from a 1911 purist's point of view,
the "DA" connected to the numbers "1", "9", "1", & "1" are some kind of sacrilegious blasphemy.
But...
To each their own.

Ah, but they DO exist.

I knew you'd shed some witty banter in this thread.

John Moses Browning would NOT consider that a 1911. He would roll over in his grave.

Where's the grip safety? Where's the thumb safety? Where's the mainspring housing? Where's the decent trigger?
Where's the ...oh fer gawd's sake, where's the 1911??

The two you have mentioned are the only DA 1911's of which I'm aware. I carry the Para Companion 1911-style LDA and absolutely love it. I hope you find what you are looking for.

Where's the grip safety? Where's the thumb safety? Where's the mainspring housing? Where's the decent trigger?
Where's the ...oh fer gawd's sake, where's the 1911??

Amen, sister. Preach on.

That IS a horrible trigger...

 

[JetGirl]

DA 1911's of which I'm aware.
I carry ... 1911-style

*faints*

Amen, sister. Preach on.

LOL

Grip Safety? Check!
Thumb Safety? Check!
Mainspring Housing? Check?
Decent Trigger? Check?

So, do I pass?

SA? Hold!

That trigger looks like a sissy revolver trigger on a chick gun.
Next, you'll be wanting to put one of those derpy "safety" doohickeys on it.

What YOU need, my friend, is a short flat solid trigger built for two-digit wielding.

Well, I'll just go hang out with the other eunuchs until I can find a sewing kit.
