Anyone here have experience with these?
I’m familiar with Glocks and M&Ps; I’m particularly interested in how the LDA trigger feel compares with those.
Thanks in advance.

I used to have one of the older P12 LDAs. The reason I bought a DAO in the first place was because of the trigger pull. It was the smoothest and lightest double action trigger I had ever pulled. Now that I have grown, or digressed (went to the dark side with a Glock), I can't recall how it stacks up against the Glock. I traded the LDA about four years ago.
The only downside I had with my LDA was that it shot four inches low at all ranges between three and twentyfive yards. Not only with me shooting it, literally everyone who shot it had the same problem.

Never fired one personally, but have handled and dry-fired them in gun shops. I'm not sure the comparison between a Glock/M&P Striker-fired pistol is fair with a true DAO trigger.
I don't know if this comparison helps, but to me it felt much like a Colt Python that had been lightened by about 1/3.
The LDA is without a doubt the lightest, smoothest LDA trigger I've ever handled...but it's significantly LONGER than the Glock. I remember being amazed that it didn't stage or stack like most DA triggers do.
Looks like Dickenson is down near Galveston, so I can't recommend any gun shops there that carry the Paras (just don't know). I know that Pasadena Gun Center carried some LDA's last time I was in there, and that Buffalo Nickel Emporium in Conroe carries some.
Hope this helps.
