Before I left the last GS where I worked p/t, I picked up a barely used Charles Daly M1911. Sort of a 'deluxe' Philippine gun. About $300, and figured it'd be a 'beater' 1911 for woods carry. I really didn't expect much. My other Government models, Commanders, and 3" guns are split between Colt and Kimber.
I was quite surprised upon running the Daly through the paces. No malfunctions with many bullet weights and profiles. And accurate.
I was actually a bit peeved at how good it was.
So, it still serves as my beater 1911, and is in the carry rotation.
