The LDA is a fine weapon. I just received on for Valentine's Day (My wife and daughter are pretty good to me!). I had a Glock 17 and the PO LDA is a much better weapon. The trigger pull on the LDA sort of reminds me of the Glock- Pull until it's staged and then finish the pull. The LDA has it's quirks though, the slide can't be cycled unless the grip safety is depressed and the disassembly is a tad different from the standard 1911 proceedure. Gotta love the .45 caliber though, 15 .45 ACP rounds total rounds for the LDA (14 in mag plus one in the chamber) vs. 18 9mm rounds total for the Glock (17 in mag plus one in the chamber). If you have any more questions regarding the LDA you can contact me at sbfactry@bcni.net. HTH
