Para's actually have guns with each type of action.
The LDA's (light double action) are the ones to which you refer. They are carried hammer down, and pressing the trigger cocks and releases the hammer. They are about 7 pounds, but very smooth. There is quite a bit of trigger movement before the hammer falls.
A 1911 has a single action trigger, where the weapon is only fired from the cocked position. It has very little travel, or takeup, before the hammer falls, and has usually about a 4 pound trigger pull.
Different actions, both fine weapons.
For me, it is the 1911. However, it is a matter of preference. Shoot both, and see which one fits the bill.
