  I am contemplating a 1911 style pistol to purchase. i have read a little on the subject and am very curious about the Charles Daly pistols. They seem to be a high Quality firearm but are not as expensive as other 1911s with the same features. Is it an inferior product, or an inexpensive one.
  
  Yeah I can make it....

  I'll give you my expert opinion on Charles Daily.
  
  I bought one of those Charles Daily semi-auto 12ga shotguns from Galyns for $250 a couple of years ago. I shot a couple of rounds of Trap with it & it seemed to work fine (loading 1 in the chamber manually).
  
  Took it pheasent hunting and realized that the gun wouldn't feed off of the magazine, it actually double feeded to the point where it became a single shot. I sold it off as soon as I got back from the hunt.
  
  Based on that experience I'd pass on anything made by Charles Daily. Put it this way, I'll never buy one of their products again.

  They have a reputation for being low quality.

  I have a 1911 the first issue that they made to replace the military colt. I have shot it in matches and shoot it constantly for the past 3 years and have had little or no problems at all. just the usual trigger work and the new main springs. but other then that it is a great firearm. I really love the ambidecsterous safety , Iam left handed. In my opinion grood weapon for the money. 45

  A really good 1911 is something you can get for about $500 to $600 and might outlast you. Why bother with something low grade?
