This review of the Charles Daly Empire Grade 1911, conducted by experienced firearms reviewers, highlights both its accuracy potential and significant quality control concerns. The firearm, manufactured in Italy by Brixia, features an all-steel frame and a Series 70 design, offering good mechanical accuracy. However, issues such as inconsistent checkering, poor beaver tail fitment, and a faulty safety detent were noted. Reliability was also a concern, with multiple failures to feed observed, particularly with stock and E-Lander magazines, suggesting a potential need for a break-in period or magazine tuning.
