No. Strictly speaking, Glocks are "safe-action" which is a Glock proprietary term. Glocks are neither double action nor single action. They have attributes of both types.
LDA is one
It is a double action pistol
Do you mean a hammerless single-shot, double-barrel, slide-action...? sales@countrygunsmith.net
A double action pistol that chambers a .380 ACP round. AKA 9mm Kurz
To turn your tanfoglio gt380 into a double action pistol can take a lot of work. You will have to buy a lot of different parts and a lot of time to make this work.
A single action pistol, such as the 191A1 .45 Auto, requires that the hammer be cocked before the first shot. A Double Action pistol does not need to have the hammer cocked- pulling the trigger causes the hammer to rise and fall. Some are DAO- Double Action Only- the hammer cannot BE cocked, and must be fired from a "hammer down" position. These include the Para-Ordnance LDA pistols.
Double action
Look at the back of the breech. If there isn't a hammer, it's hammerless. Hammers are those things that stick up at the back of the barrel. On a single action gun you have to cock them (pull them back) before you pull the trigger. Pulling the trigger cocks and releases the hammers on a double action. All the firing mechanism is inside a hammerless gun.
Mechanical action.
Air cooled, magazine fed, recoil operated, double action, semi automatic pistol.
