C.daly 1911 Empire 45acp 5" 8rd Chrm

The Charles Daly 1911 Empire 45 ACP 5" is a full-size, semi-automatic 1911 platform pistol chambered in .45 ACP with an 8-round magazine capacity. Built on the proven 1911 design, this model delivers the stopping power and inherent reliability that has defined service pistols for over a century. The 5-inch barrel balances velocity development with practical handling characteristics, making it suitable for duty carry, competitive shooting, and personal defense applications where the .45 ACP's proven terminal performance is preferred.

Key specifications include a chrome-plated steel slide and frame for corrosion resistance, G10 grip panels for secure retention and durability in adverse conditions, and an adjustable rear sight for precision shooting. The manual safety lever provides the intuitive engagement and disengagement operators expect from 1911-pattern pistols. At 4.31 pounds, the firearm carries with manageable recoil impulse while maintaining sufficient mass for control during rapid fire. The right-hand configuration accommodates standard 1911 holster ecosystems and supports orthodox shooting positions without modification.

This platform serves shooters who prioritize the 1911's single-action trigger, intuitive controls, and .45 ACP performance for law enforcement, armed security, competitive metallic silhouette shooting, and defensive carry. The chrome finish requires standard corrosion management in humid or salt-air environments but resists operational wear. The included two magazines provide baseline capacity for training and duty cycles; additional OEM 1911 magazines are widely available and interchangeable. The Charles Daly 1911 Empire combines traditional operating ergonomics with modern production standards, offering a versatile platform for operators who favor the .45 ACP cartridge.
