The LDA Carry 9 uses Para's proprietary Light Double Action trigger — a double-action-only mechanism in a 1911 body — rather than the traditional single-action. Gives 1911 ergonomics with a DA trigger for shooters preferring that safety profile. Type: Pistol Action: Semi-Automatic Caliber: 9mm Capacity: 9 Year introduced: 2001, USA/Canada Weight: 28 oz Overall length: 7.1" Status: Discontinued Intended use: Carry, Duty
