Tell me about the Charles Daly EMS

[stalon]

I'm looking to pick up a commander length 1911 without the heavy duty price.
The armsco/CD EMS fits my budget. Are they reliable and accurate? Pros/Cons.

Thanks

Use the search I've posted quite a bit about mine including photos. Had a few problems initially, KBI gave good warranty service. Got about 9000 rounds thru it, extractor broke somewhere around 7000 rounds (the number in my eariler posts is reasonably accurate, my memory isn't). Easily replaced and the extractor in my Colt broke at a not too much higher round count.

Basically I think its a very good gun for the money and has the same potential issues of any modern MIM 1911 most of which cost significantly more for the features.

Here are two threads I remember:
