A few people had issues with it, mostly people who were used to shooting standard single action 1911s, but I had only one FTF, and it was my fault for fumbling my grip. I also deliberately eschewed oil and cleaning throughout the day to see if it could take it without failing. It did. [...] [...] Sebastian: The platform itself is reliable, however.

One nice little trick with 1911-type safeties is to let your right thumb rest on the safety bar. This means when the gun is in a firing grip the safety is in the down and hot position...also this allows you to apply a little torque to the gun to get the muzzle down for follow-up shots. Definetly the manual safety is not needed on the LDA. I 100% agree, for carry/defensive guns Its DA-Type trigger OR Manual Safety…never both as its not needed.

Safety's on a weapon, for me, defeats the purpose. Also, never met a one of 'em that didn't spit the bit, usually when things were getting a tad hairy.
