[QUOTE="HackerF15E, post: 1061372, member: 9689"] Charles Daly 1911s were re-branded Armscor pistols from the Philippines. As was mentioned, the company is no more (although Armscor is still producing pistols in the PI). Unfortunately, during that time they developed a reputation for less-than-stellar quality. Although current Armscor 1911s (Rock Island Armory, High Standard, STI Spartan) have a *good* reputation for quality, this is a result of a re-tooling and overhaul of the quality control process at the factory. When they were building Daly pistols, they had a spotty track record. So, this doesn't necessarily mean that every Daly is a lemon. It just means that you should not spend very much on it, and you should have any one you purchase checked by a gunsmith (preferably one who knows his way around a 1911 well) for technical adherence to the 1911 'spec'. They should be built to the standard 1911 spec, though. Armscor in still in business, so parts should be no problem to get ahold of (although they wouldn't be branded as Charles Daly). [/QUOTE]
