Mr. Kassnar,
First, welcome to the forum.
I have owned 2 CD 1911s in the past. I had the same problem with both of them; a failure to eject. I was impressed with the features and fit of the pistols, but simply could not make it past 2 shots without a stove-pipe or a nose-down slam into the feed ramp.
The commander version I had purchased new, so after my range trip I had returned it to the dealer to get it checked out. All I know is that about 8 working days later he called me back in and said the pistol had been checked thoroughly and nothing was wrong with it, but that it also had been completely cleaned and what-not. Next range trip I had the same thing happen. I ended up trading the CD in on a S&W because the dealer wanted to keep me happy.
My second CD 1911 was an officer size model. I purchased it used, thinking perhaps the commander version I had earlier was a fluke, and because, like I said, I really like the CD features and the way it fit my hand. Same problem with that one as well. The dealer I purchased this one from suggested that perhaps I was limp-wristing the pistol. I explained to him that I primarily shot hot-load .357 and .44 magnum, so doubted that it was lack of control causing the issue, not to mention I have not had the same problem with Colt, Springfield or Norinco. There just must be something different about the CDs.
I know there are a number of people out there who really like their Charles Daly 1911s, and I never try to dissuade anyone from purchasing one. I feel that for the money, the CD is difficult to beat, but I also counsel that the person might want to shoot one first.
I am tempted to try a brand new full-size, though, now that I know there is a person on the forum to which I can tell all my woes! Not positive, but tempted.
