Para Ordnance, ParaOrd - quite a wide variety of 1911 style pistols.

Although they claim that there "LDA" series of 1911s are a "Light Double Action" they are not a double action. By definition a double action pistol's trigger not only cocks the hammer, it also releases the hammer and does it all over again! Like a Single Action gun that relies on either the recoil of the slide to reset the hammer or its done by "racking the slide." What does the LDA do? It stages the trigger and allows fo a lighter trigger pull.

Here's the "big and bad" LDA - the high capacity Government LDA:

I wasn't aware that the LDA didn't have second strike capability. Then it is definitely NOT double action, but more like a cocked CZ 75, which cocks the hammer slightly when you fire it SA. Only the CZ is double action so you have second strike capability.
