I have bought a Para PDA (http://rphoto.me/grJ0r2) in 9mm for conceal carry. So far I am loving the gun.

This is my first Para gun.

My question is has anyone else shot one or have one and if so how do you carry it, holster, etc...

I thought the LDA was a unique gun when it first came out but I shied away due to Para's quality being hit or miss. The HK LEM trigger has a similar feeling to the LDA.

I've boxed up and shipped back way too many Painted Ordnance LDAs to ever consider spending cash on one. As a matter of fact, when I was last running a sales floor, I stopped stocking new Paras altogether due to their lousy QC with LDAs.

Here's a friend going through the Para Experience (http://middleoftheright.blogspot.com/2011/04/shit-it-happened-again_24.html) right now.

I'd own a single-action Para as a range toy or practice gun (I've owned a couple in the past and currently have an LTC9 I use as a cheap 1911 centerfire trainer,) but I wouldn't carry one.

And an LDA? After what I've seen and been through? I wouldn't line my cat's litterbox with ground-up LDAs.

As far as carrying it, I'd imagine it'd fit in any of the "sub-Officers"-size 1911 holsters; anything for a Kimber Ultra or Springfield Micro or suchlike.
