Not enough info. That's like asking if a Ford compact is any good.
What model, year, condition, etc.
Pics too if you got any.

I believe it's the DDA 10-45FS
It's in good condition not a whole lot of rounds through it.
Not sure of age!

I have a CD officers 45. Its pretty good. Has some finishing blemishes that I pickled up on after I bought it but it has been reliable. No issues really. The only thing I am no a fan of is the full length guide rod/bushingless barrel setup. Its a pain to field strip. Outside of that its a great gun.

Thanks B5Ben! Audi owner? In general Charles Daly hand guns are good guns?

 

[B5Ben]

In General I would say so. I have handled, but not shot, a couple of the shotguns they make and seemed good. In actuality, I think they contract other manufacturers to make guns to their specs for them. I believe my 45 is made by Armscor in the Philippines.

And yes, an audi owner. Love me some Audi!

Owned a 99 A4 1.8t. Which I believe is B5, right?

Sure is. Did you/are you going to pick up the CD 1911? Post some pics if/when you do. I will try to do the same tonight .

I believe they are made by armscor,also
So used should be in the $450? range in perfect condition. I'm guessing $550ish new?

 

[Shylod12]

I'm not sur the model. Picking it up Sunday.. Will definitely post pics, and more info.
Was told its got like a 4" barrel? If that helps any. Buying from my old boss.

 

[Shylod12]

I do know its not a 1911

 

[mjbskwim]

I do know its not a 1911

Pretty sure that's the only 45 they had

 

[Shylod12]

Hmm.. I'm not sure. Haven't seen it yet. Just trying to get some info on Charles Daly hand guns in general, will post pics once I get it,

Charles Daly DDA 10 40 .45

 

[mjbskwim]

OK so CD basically puts their roll stamp (rebrands) other's guns.One guy said the gut were identical to the EEA witness,wished the parts were interchangeable.
It looks like it to me also,so it's a good design

 

[Shylod12]

I hope so! Picked it up for $250

 

[B5Ben]

I would call that a score. I am a sucker for mid range guns in the $300 and under price range. Hope it does well for you.

I thought Charles Daley was a maker of fine English shotguns?

Importer of fine English shotguns, I think.

You think correctly.
Apologies to the board for my earlier misprint.
