About the Cartridge

This cartridge was developed by John Browning and was adopted by the United States Ordnance Department along with the Colt-Browning automatic pistol in 1911. It has also been made the official military handgun chambering by several other governments, notably Argentina, Mexico and Norway. The 45 Automatic is the most powerful military handgun cartridge in use today. This is a heavy and powerful sub-sonic round. Although its muzzle energy can exceed 400 ft-lbs, its velocity and bullet weight creates a steep trajectory curve that limits its effective range to self-defense distances.

Para LDA Officer
By Lawnerd on 26 May 2022
The pistol that I have was purchased from a Florida dealer on GunBroker, who acquired a group of Para LDA Officers and LDA Carry pistols from the remaining portion of Remington (the purchaser of Para-USA post-bankruptcy) that had been “show guns” used as displays at gun shows. After having a local gunsmith grind down a high spot on part of the guide rod assembly and acquiring some Chip McCormick compact magazines the pistol functioned flawlessly. The trigger is smooth and light. The black Ionbond finish is very attractive and the checkering on the front and back of the grip gives a good purchase for your hand as does the double diamond coco bolo grip panels. If you want a powerful and compact, all steel, carry pistol with a 3.5 inch barrel the Para LDA Officer in .45 ACP is an excellent choice.
