Key Features
Each Charles Daly 1911 Field Engraved is assembled and finished in Italy by Brixia, a respected name in European firearms manufacturing. The pistols are individually proof-tested at the Italian government proof house, ensuring robust construction and reliable performance before leaving the factory. Accuracy and Durability Reports from reviewers and users highlight the pistol’s impressive accuracy and solid build quality. The slide-to-frame fit is described as tight and precise, contributing to consistent shot placement and minimal movement during operation1. In bench-rested tests at 25 yards, the Field G.I. variant produced five-shot groups as small as 2.39 inches with quality ammunition, which is notable for a value-priced 1911. The trigger offers a clean break at around 6 pounds, with minimal creep, supporting precise shooting. Durability is further underscored by the use of forged steel in both the frame and slide, and by the pistol’s ability to function reliably with a variety of ammunition types, including both ball and hollow-point rounds. Reviewers note that after an initial short break-in period, the pistol runs smoothly and consistently, with no significant malfunctions reported during extended testing. Modest Value While not positioned as a high-end custom 1911, the Charles Daly 1911 Field Engraved offers a strong balance of quality, performance, and affordability. Its classic military styling, reliable function, and Italian craftsmanship make it a practical choice for those seeking a dependable .45 ACP for protection, recreation, or competition—without the premium price tag. In summary, the Charles Daly 1911 Field Engraved .45 ACP stands out as a well-made, accurate, and durable pistol, thoughtfully manufactured in Italy and offering excellent value in the classic 1911 tradition.
