This review of the Charles Daly Empire Grade 1911, manufactured in Italy by Brixia, highlights its all-steel construction and impressive mechanical accuracy from its 5-inch barrel. However, significant quality control issues were noted, including inconsistent front strap checkering, poor beaver tail fitment causing irritation, and a faulty ambidextrous safety detent. Reliability was also a concern, with multiple failures to feed, suggesting a potential break-in period or magazine compatibility issues, performing best with Wilson Combat magazines. The reviewer, with high authority, recommends a 'buy with caution' approach, advising potential buyers to inspect units in person.
