Jasonub Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 To those who own LDA's i heard that manually cockin the hammer will break a spring? Is this true? I opened up my lda and after putting it back together analized the cocking action. its like any 1911, the slide cocks the hammer when it travells backwards. but with this pistol, the hammer returns forward for the next double action pull. i cant see anything that will break if i hand cock the LDA but was warned against it. Any experience on this? I emailed para but got no answer Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn jones Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 yes it is true. it's in the users manual. i looked it up last year after i was beaten down for doing it to a friends lda. lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeshoreShooter Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) Thanks Jasonub and Lynn. I just purchased a P18 LDA today, so that's a cool tip. Muncho's Grassiass!! Paul Edited December 23, 2006 by LakeshoreShooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonub Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) ok its like this. they say that the small sping on the sear spring. the small coil spring will break if you hand cock it. this is true if the grip safety is disengaged since it will bend on outwards towards the grip safety. if the grip safety is depressed this wont happen. any comments? lakeshore, you have the same gun as mine but mine shoots a little tad low Edited December 23, 2006 by Jasonub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeshoreShooter Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Learn something new everyday. Thanks for the heads up Jasonub! What's up with the low shooter? Mine shot pretty much POA right out of the box. pf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
