marc58 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Picked up a really nice Para 14-45 Lda stainless made in Canada. Spent casing envelope states model T1445S , dated March 2001. Serial number DA67XX. Picked up at estate auction was told it was in safe of 80yr old fellow. Never been holstered. Hard to believe but by the looks of it, might be true... Was told it is a limited but not stamped limited. 1st round is like da pull but afterwards it's much lighter as a sa lighter pull.. Thanks for any help.

telecat Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I don't know a lot about LDA's but if its a Limited it will have adjustable sights (LPA\Bomar style). I'm stretching my memory here but I thought on LDA's all the trigger pulls were the same. Kind of a very light double action and consistent on every pull. LDA stands for Light double action. I'm sure there are some people here that are more knowledgeable than I am on the LDA's. Also check out the Facebook group Para Ordnance Clubhouse. There are some or one person that used to work for PARA USA that can answer technical questions about LDA actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HCH Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Pictures would probably help... although I won’t be of much use identifying what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecat Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 That looks like a Limited LDA to me! Front and rear cocking serrations, LPA rear sight but I cant tell if the front sight is dovetailed or not in the pic. A limited would have a dovetailed font sight. Its got the hex grip screws too. So it doesn't say Limited on the other side of the slide in cursive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc58 Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 Dove tail front yes. No limited stamped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCH Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 It says limited right on the slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Yes! Ltd = Limited. Nice gun! I’m trying to remember but I think Para bobbed the hammer on the latter ones. People kept trying to cock them like a revolver which would really damage the LDA mechanisms. Now it may be very difficult to find internals so just a heads up about cocking the hammer!

MadBomber Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I have one in .40, P16-40 LDA. I bought it to shoot production or limited. Never did though. It has sat in the safe for nearly 15 years. Yes, the hammer is bobbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
