Charles Daly 1911

[4thHorseman]

I went a gun show today and seen for the first time the Charles Daly 1911.
I was really impressed by the quality of the gun for the money. I never fired one so I really can't say much more except it looked awfully good and had about $725 price tag on it. One had an internal extractor and another model had an external extractor. Alot of options.

You did not say which model you were looking at but, I got my EFS, full size, $430 out the door. You may want to shop around.
If you can spring that type of money [$725] you can buy many other brands of 1911s.

Good shooting.

Get a Springfield Armory mil-spec or mil-spec WW2(both under $500,closer to $400), Ive owned CD and altho it looked good there were many problems with it. I had to send the CD back to the factory after 3 days, hadnt even shot it, I noticed a problem with the grip safety....they emailed and asked what I wanted to pay to fix the gun...so much for their lifetime warranty. After weeks of phone calls and a real pain in the ??? I got the gun back and immediately sold it(after 45 days). I'll never buy one their products again...once was enough for me. Dont be fooled by a nice looking gun on the outside, the insides are crappy. Mismatched parts and crappy machine work seems to their standard.

I wasn't going to buy one, just lookin'. But as you guys have mentioned, looks aren't everything.
I have a Caspian, it is all I need.

The CD might be okay as a first gun, but for the money, the greater value is in the Springfield Mil Spec.

The best CD's seem to be the under $400 ones. They tend to be pretty good. Mine has been.
