OK...
I checked out the forums on m1911.org. After mourning the fact that I don't have the extra 1000 bucks to order a les baer this year, I went ahead and ordered the Tac-five and 4 extra hi-caps. It will be at the shop tommorrow and I can do the paperwork. Unfortunately my chief won't give me a letter to pick it up so I have to wait. I can go ahead and visit it once or twice but won't get to shoot it for a while.... dang... I will post the results of the shooting session... when it happens.....

OK... picked up my LDA today... it is the LE only version the Tac-five. Yes it is a 9mm but I have my reasons...
Shot about 150 rounds through it... No jams... but it was all ball Very accurate...but will try some bench groups next week to find out how accurate. The Lda trigger is very interesting... I don't think it is better than the regular 1911 trigger... certainly the Les Baer I shot recently is several orders of magnatude above it.... but it is certainly better than my trigger-job-slick-Beretta 92 or any sig/smith auto I have ever shot.... It is well interesting...after shooting combat tupperware so much, I am not sure I like the lack of a definate point of reset on the trigger but I seem to be able to shoot it much better than I can the glocks I have.... Bottom line... at this point... 150 rounds in.... I sold a kimber 38 super at an obscene profit...after I put a set of pearl stocks on it.....and have no regrets about selling the Kimber... it was a Jam-O-matic even after sending it to the factory and many conversations with them...(I really believe nobody there knows how to tune a 1911 extractor for a 38 super and they have a funkus extractor system so I couldn't trade it out....) I am not sorry I sold it... this LDA towers above the kimber in shoot-ability and certainly ammo costs! We will see about he reliability after a couple of thousand rounds... I am thinking of taking it with me to Thunder Ranch next year for class as I have about 1000 rounds of green ammo left over in 9mm... To be continued...

glad to here it worked well, trigger reset is the number one complaint i see on the other sites. I shoot 200 rounds or so through mine monthly and have gotten very used to the trigger. hope to here more about it and even though I have a few old pre-ban mags I'm still jealous about your LE status!

kern, your not to far from me. I live in the outskirt of palmdale. I actually do my outdoor shooting in rosamond. everybody in LEO world is underpaid for what they do and you have a often thankless job.
as I said I work security but for the feds and it pays quite well. I did pass the LAPD exam but failed the credit which is funny considering I got a TS clearance with my credit!

Had the LDA at the range yesterday. Cor-bon 115 gr went 5 shots in 4 inches at 50 yards. Some old 147gr black talon went about the same but about 8 in. low at 50. The BT went one hole at 15 yards and about 2 in at 25 and was very soft shooting. Just line up the sights and make holes in the target... very nice.
I was on a forum with Dane at Burns Custom the other night and he mentioned I could punch our a regular 9mm barrel to 9x23 which has sizzling ballistics.... sounds like a future project! My magazines will hold them and maybe another barrel for 38 super!...... Bottom line... love the gun... glad I sold my Kimber 38 super to buy it!

9X23 Winchester
Just thought I would update: Shot the 9mm para tac 5 again today. We have alot of old 9mm black talon at our department that just "needs" to be shot up/destroyed...alas... I am the only person with a 9mm so the chore falls upon me.... this is really accurate stuff in the para... amazing....
On another tangent... I was in communication with Dane Burns at Burns custom regarding this gun... the suggestion was made to convert the gun to 9x23...I have alot of experience with the 38super....but not the 9x23...
