Charles Daly 440182 .45 ACP 5" 9-Round Stainless 1911 Pistol

The Charles Daly 440182 .45 ACP 5" 9-Round Stainless 1911 Pistol represents a proven platform trusted by law enforcement and military professionals for over a century. This full-size 1911 variant delivers the stopping power and reliability that defensive and duty shooters demand in a modern stainless steel package. Whether deployed for personal protection, competitive shooting, or duty carry, this pistol combines time-tested 1911 ergonomics with contemporary manufacturing standards to meet contemporary tactical requirements.

Built with a stainless steel construction, the Charles Daly 440182 resists corrosion and provides superior longevity in harsh field conditions—critical for operators working in wet or salt environments. The 5-inch barrel delivers optimal velocity and accuracy for the .45 ACP cartridge, balancing penetration and terminal performance with controllable recoil impulse. A 9-round magazine capacity provides adequate ammunition reserves while maintaining the reduced profile characteristic of single-stack 1911 platforms, and the traditional single-action trigger geometry enables precise shot placement under stress. At 4.12 pounds, the pistol achieves a weight-to-power ratio that facilitates all-day carry without fatigue or printing under tactical clothing.

This 1911 platform is ideal for shooters seeking a reliable, ergonomic defensive handgun compatible with decades of aftermarket support and accessory availability. The full-size frame accommodates shooters with larger hands and those requiring enhanced grip-to-trigger reach, while the stainless finish simplifies maintenance and inspection in the field. Standard 1911 rail systems and holster compatibility ensure seamless integration into existing duty rigs, load-out systems, and training protocols established across law enforcement and civilian defensive communities.
