FEATURES
The LDA-Series semi-automatic pistols are quite similar in
appearance while they all function in the same manner. Among
themselves, the pistols vary in caliber, size, weight, barrel/barrel
bushing configuration, surface finish, and in the type of metal
used for their respective receivers (steel or stainless steel).
While this manual uses the Para Limited and Black Watch SSP
pistols for its illustrations, the directions apply to the other LDA
models unless otherwise noted.

SAFETY FEATURES
Para-Ordnance LDA-Series Double-Action semi-automatic
pistols are equipped with a number of safety devices (some
are hand-operated while others are passive) that are designed
to minimize accidental discharges.

The Grip Safety (Figure 3) locks both the hammer and slide.
In order to press the trigger and move the hammer, which is
necessary to fire the pistol, you must firmly grasp the pistol’s
receiver, fully depressing the Grip Safety. When you are ready to
fire the pistol, the forward pressure of your hand on the Grip
Safety disengages this safety device and allows the hammer the
necessary freedom for its rearward movement required to fire the
pistol when the trigger is pressed.

PASSIVE SAFETIES
THESE SAFETIES ARE ACTIVATED AUTOMATICALLY
WITHOUT MANUAL INTERVENTION. DO NOT BYPASS THEM
OR RENDER THEM INOPERATIVE.
These mechanisms form parts of a safety system incorporated
into your Para-Ordnance pistol and they are designed and installed
for the prevention of accidental discharges that could otherwise
follow as the result of some commonplace occurrences.
FUNCTION
The action of the LDA-Series pistols is based on a tilting
barrel design that locks the barrel and slide together at the
moment of firing. After firing, the barrel and slide recoil to the
rear for a short distance still locked together. Following this initial
movement, the barrel tilts downward from its locked position,
permitting full recoil of the slide and the extraction and ejection
of the spent cartridge cases.
NEVER RELY ON A SAFETY MECHANISM
TO JUSTIFY CARELESS HANDLING
OF YOUR PISTOL.
Your Para-Ordnance pistol is equipped with the following
passive safeties:
Inertia Firing Pin: Size and position of the firing pin, which is
held to the rear by a spring, keep the pin from striking the
cartridge primer unless the spring force and inertia of the
firing pin are overcome by the blow of the hammer.
Firing Pin Lock: To minimize the risk of accidental discharge
that may be the result of the pistol being dropped or the
muzzle receiving a blow, this safety device prevents
the movement of the firing pin until the trigger is
intentionally squeezed.
ALWAYS EXPECT THE GUN
TO FIRE WHEN YOU
PRESS THE TRIGGER.
14
ALWAYS REMEMBER, THAT WHEN FIRED,
A DOUBLE-ACTION PISTOL RELOADS
AND RECOCKS ITSELF AUTOMATICALLY
AND IS READY TO FIRE AGAIN BY SIMPLY
PRESSING THE TRIGGER. ALWAYS KEEP THE
PISTOL POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
OPERATION
The proper method for manually cocking the LDA pistol is by
pulling back the slide. To pull back the slide, you must first fully
depress the grip safety.

MALFUNCTIONS
In any semi-automatic pistol, stoppages can occur due to
mechanical malfunction or ammunition failure. Please perform
the following procedures to correctly deal with such malfunctions.
NEVER FORCE A JAMMED ACTION.
TO DO SO MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION THAT
CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
1. STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY if you encounter any
mechanical malfunction while firing your pistol, e.g.,
cartridge has failed to extract, report on firing does not
sound right, powder gas is being “spit out,” cartridge
primer is punctured or cartridge case is bulged or
punctured. HAVE THE FIREARM AND AMMUNITION
EXAMINED BY A COMPETENT GUNSMITH.
2. FAILURE TO FIRE: KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED
IN A SAFE DIRECTION
and hold it there for 30 seconds
to determine if a HANGFIRE (slow ignition) has occurred.
If round has not fired within the 30 seconds, remove the
magazine, eject the round and examine the primer.
3. In any double-action pistol, an unfired cartridge or fired
cartridge case may become jammed between the slide and
the barrel. To clear a jammed cartridge,
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION
KEEP THE MUZZLE
and remove the
magazine.Pull the slide back and lock it to the rear by
engaging the Slide Stop. Remove the cartridge.
NOTE: Disposal of misfired or otherwise damaged, unfired
cartridges should be carried out according to instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the ammunition.

“UNLOADING.”
GRIP
For best performance, always be sure to grip the pistol firmly with
a locked wrist and insure that your hands don’t press upward on
the Slide Stop Lever or Slide Lock Safety, as this can retard slide
movement and cause malfunctions.
2. When holding a pistol,
your thumbs should be
pointing at the target
and sitting lightly on
the frame
Do not steer the pistol
with your thumb or
use it to add pressure.
3. When gripping a pistol, the
right hand thumb will always
be on top of the support
hand. You will see that
the weak hand thumb will
be parallel across from the
trigger finger
Remember, do not touch the
slide with any part of your
hand—it can disrupt the
cycle and cause the firearm
to malfunction.
(Figure 7).
(Figure 8).
Figure 7
Figure 8
Here are some tips on how to properly
hold your Para pistol from champion
shooter Todd Jarrett:
1. To reduce recoil, get as high as
possible to the center of the bore
with your holster-side hand yet
without touching the slide
(Figure 6). This is important for
high-speed shooting
.
22
Figure 6
4. When both hands are properly positioned on the pistol, there
should be an equal amount of pressure all around the frame
(Figure 9).
Figure 9
23
5. If you release the fingers
of your support hand while
still griping the pistol, your
fingers should be in a fortyfive degree downward angle
(Figure 10).
6. In an equal 50/50 grip, you
should apply about as much
pressure as if you were
swinging a bat or hammer.
7. Even the smallest difference in your hand position when
gripping a pistol will change the bullet impact on the target.
Figure 10
MAINTENANCE
Proper periodic maintenance is essential to the reliable
functioning of any firearm. The service life and performance
of the pistol depend upon correct handling and proper care.
All firearms require periodic maintenance and inspection
which may reveal a need for adjustment or repair.
You should clean your pistol as soon after firing as possible
and where your pistol has not been fired it should still be
cleaned periodically. Have your firearm checked by a competent
gunmith annually, even if no functioning problem exists, since
some potential problems may not be apparent from external
examination of the pistol.
If the pistol gets wet, or is exposed to sand or other foreign
matter, have it cleaned as soon as possible.
24
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND KEEP
PISTOL POINTED AWAY FROM YOUR FACE, WHEN
PREPARING TO STRIP AND CLEAN YOUR PISTOL
TO AVOID INJURY TO THE EYES IN THE EVENT
THAT SOME COMPONENT MAY COME FLYING
LOOSE FROM YOUR GUN.
DISASSEMBLY
Carefully follow the steps that apply to your specific model pistol
for disassembly.
STEP 1.
