...If I were a guessing man, either the Para patent ran out, or Colt's is paying royalties on the design. Pure speculation on my part, but it sure looks that way. The LDA is hammer-fired. This Colt ain't. Check out the video, there's a hammer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkwokQWaDTA

I really don�t know what market they�re going after. I really don�t see that as a Law Enforcement pistol. I would think a pistol made for law enforcement would have synthetic grips, a changeable backstrap, much better sights, shorter barrel, etc. I really don�t know what audience they�re trying to reach???
After watching the video, it looks like it uses a MIM hammer but unlike the PO LDA, this seems to have second strike capability. I think their target market is civilian sales�but I�ll be darned if I know who they think they�re going to sell it to? The DAO system in the New Agent makes some sense, but this pistol just kinda boggles. It looks well made, doesn�t appear to be the abomination that the Double Eagle was.

I would bet its very limited production......IMHO this is gun looking for a purpose.....instead of filling a need

Yeah, it's really weird.
Now if they did something like the .45 ACP 1903 that Cylinder & Slide did, now that would be sumthin!!

Odd that on the 1991 chart page in the "hammer" row under the DAO column, it states "N/A".

Suitable for those who never stopped liking and using the DA revolver? I bet you there's a market for that. ....If it isn't fragile, like the LDA.

Not too far removed from this concept. TP45 And those seem to be selling.
