Anyone own one with the double action?

That looks like its single action. Did you mean double stack mag? I've been wondering about those as well.

might be the safest conceal carry with big knockdown power..

A 1911 would be about my 50th choice for a CCW. They are like a 67 mustang. You take it out of the garage for a spin every once in a while, but not an every day driver. Too many safeties to operate in a life or death situation.

X2. They're nice but if it really hits the fan I want to just squeeze a trigger. A broken thumb could make it a 2 handed procedure to remove the safety. I know some guys aren't glock fans but its hard to beat the power and capacity of a G29 10mm.

Benelli, the hammer on that gun travels back and fires while you pull the trigger? It looks like a normal single action trigger that doesn't have enough travel to c0ck the hammer.

I agree with Allen...
I am also not a big fan of 3 inch barrels....

I think you're talking about the LDA series which are double action...

1911's are single action

LDA's.. correct.
As for the durability of the gun, the gentleman who I shot with is an AVID gun collector,with over 1000 guns in his arsenal. He has never once cleaned the gun besides using an airgun,and simple spray and it worked flawless after thousands of rds had been run thru it.

Obviously some of the comments reflect nothing about the gun and its capabilities.You don't **** the hammer. The seer is cocked after each shot or racking so the trigger pull is as easy as a single action. Again, comments should reflect the gun and its capabilities.

I didn't see anyone question the durability of the gun.

The comments regarding the hammer and action were only made because you posted a pic of the wrong gun. You posted a single action Para and claimed it was DA.

my bad on the link...but I don't like mustangs:)

I do own a Beretta PB380 and it too is a double action. I just like to carry in a certain way and prefer double actions. Stepping up to a .45 and considering all the options. Definitely not a glock fan
