What’s Included
- Para-Ordnance factory hard case with matching serialized label

The 14.45 LDA pairs classic 1911 ergonomics with Para-Ordnance’s light double-action-only trigger system. The Commander/rowel (ring) hammer complements the LDA mechanism, delivering a smooth, consistent pull while maintaining familiar 1911 controls.
This full-size model uses a steel frame and receiver with a charcoal gray finish, paired with a black slide that carries rear serrations for confident manipulation. Fixed 3-dot sights provide a simple, easy-to-acquire sight picture.
Chambered in .45 ACP, the double-stack design yields a 14+1 capacity, and this example includes two 14-round magazines plus one 10-round magazine. The magazines are factory Para-Ordnance units marked "MADE IN CANADA."
Markings include "MADE IN CANADA" and "PARA-ORDNANCE INC FT. LAUDERDALE FL." The factory case label notes the model code D1445ER, a 5-inch barrel, steel receiver, and black finish; it also lists CAPACITY "10" to reflect AWB-era shipping with 10-round magazines. This refers only to the originally shipped magazine capacity—the pistol itself is the standard 14-round double-stack design (14+1) and accepts P14-45 magazines. The sights, safety features, and overall configuration reflect a practical, duty-size 1911-style build.
