PARA USA PDA LDA .45 ACP CWX645RS

A few years ago I downsized my concealed carry pistol from a Para Ordnance P12 .45 ACP to a S&W 642 in .38 Special+P. the 642 has served well but the trigger pull was very heavy, it lacked night sights and most of all it wasnt a .45 and Im a .45 guy to the bone. So I set out to find a suitable replacement. Interestingly there wasn’t many  main stream handguns that fit the bill or more importantly that I would trust my life with. I looked at Glock, Smith & Wesson, HK, Springfield Armory, Beretta, Sig Saue, Ruger and CZ but nothing fit the bill. Then it hit me, why not go back to where I started back to Para Ordnance which is now PARA USA here in the states. Low and behold they had exactly what I was looking for, the PARA USA PDA LDA .45 ACP CWX645RS. The PXT LDA is a single stack 6+1 pocket sized double action only based on a 1911.

Carrying the PDA LDA

My standard holster for a concealed carry handgun is the KRAMER VERTICAL SCABBARD from KRAMER HANDGUN LEATHER which I have promptly ordered. Additionally I ordered two spare magazines from the PARA PRO SHOP.

 

From Para Usa:

When you need to respond in seconds and outside help is minutes away, the PARA PDA in .45 ACP is your able assistant. Ready to answer the call are 6+1 rounds of .45 ACP. The potent fire power of the PDA is at your command with the controllable smooth LDA trigger. The PDA .45 won’t weigh you down; its lightweight alloy frame drops the weight of this micro compact to 24 ounces.

GLOCK HOLSTER for GLOCK 17/22/31 BLACKHAWK CQC SERPA

Im growing quite fond of my GLOCK and I want to see how well it works for concealed carry. To that end I needed a holster. Typically I just go right for the best and purchase a KRAMER HANDGUN LEATHER HORSEHIDE VERTICAL SCABBARD but this time I wanted to try something different and get something that was inexpensive, highly regarded and a little more tactical looking. After a few nights of talking to folks and researching I ended up with the BLACKHAWK CQC SERPA for GLOCK 22.

Pictures and a review will follow soon.
