Gratuitous Gun Pr0n #90...

Still not sure about the aesthetics of the pistol, but I was happy with the aesthetics of the photo.
Another 50 rounds downrange. No ignition troubles or any other failures. Well, I did get "trigger freeze" one time when I was playing with riding the reset; like many of these pre-loaded quasi-double-action setups *coughParaLDAcough* there's just no payoff. All I had to do was let up on the trigger and squeeze again, though, so obviously the mainspring was cocked, I just hadn't let the trigger out far enough to pick up the hammer.

Incidentally, the pull measured a consistent 5.5 lbs on my RCBS fish scale trigger pull gauge.

    You need to post a picture of yourself at the range, so we can all tell you you're holding it wrong.

    Plus, your choice of caliber sucks.

    Does the trigger totally brick the gun like the LDA, or can you simply let it out a second time and get it to fire?

    Weer'd Beard,

    "Does the trigger totally brick the gun like the LDA..."

    No. If you just let up on the trigger it resets normally.

    I've never bricked my LDA doing that.

    Over 10K rounds through one gun and 3500 through another, never been able to brick one nor have anything not work....at best if you don't let go fast enough, the trigger doesn't reset, but this is easily reset by letting go of the trigger and then squeezing it again.

    How does one brick an LDA?

    Strange. Just checked. Mine doesn't brick that way.

    I tried and tried. if you release the trigger it resets just fine.

    Perhaps they fixed it?
