The Charles Daly 1911 .45 ACP 5" pistol brings classic 1911 ergonomics and stopping power to shooters who want a no-nonsense duty, carry, or range gun without the premium brand markup. Built on the timeless single-action platform, this full-size 1911 chambers the proven .45 ACP cartridge and holds eight rounds in the magazine—standard capacity for the 1911 format. The 5-inch barrel strikes the balance most 1911 shooters prefer: long enough for accuracy and sight radius, compact enough for practical carry and handling.
The all-black finish on the slide and frame projects a professional, rugged aesthetic that works equally well on a nightstand, a duty belt, or the range. Brown checkered polymer grips provide a secure, controllable grip without absorbing sweat like bare steel, and the dovetail-mounted front and rear sights are easy to acquire and offer straightforward upgrade potential down the line if you want night sights or a higher-quality sight set. Everything about this gun is purpose-built and accessible—no guesswork, no frills, just a 1911 that works.
Whether you're building a reliable self-defense carry gun, stocking a duty locker, or looking to add a .45 to your range collection, the Charles Daly 1911 delivers the fundamentals shooters have trusted for over a century. One eight-round magazine ships with the pistol, giving you a starting point to build your ammunition and magazine inventory.
| Caliber | .45 ACP |
| Action | Single Action |
| Barrel Length | 5 inches |
| Magazine Capacity | 8 rounds |
| Frame Finish | Black |
| Slide Finish | Black |
| Grip Material | Brown Polymer, Checkered |
| Front Sight | Dovetail-Mounted Slot |
| Rear Sight | Dovetail-Mounted |
| Included Magazines | 1 (8-round) |
The pistol ships with one 8-round magazine. You'll want to pick up additional magazines and ammunition separately to build a practical carry or range loadout.
Yes. Both the front and rear sights are dovetail-mounted, which is the standard 1911 mounting system. You can upgrade to night sights, fiber optic sights, or any dovetail-compatible sight without gunsmithing.
At 5 inches with a full-size frame, this is a full-size 1911. It works well for on-duty or open carry and as a nightstand gun. For concealed carry, many shooters prefer compact or commander-length versions, but carry suitability always depends on your body, holster choice, and comfort with the weight and size of a full-size pistol.
The Charles Daly 1911 is chambered in .45 ACP, one of the most widely available and historically proven handgun cartridges. Ammunition is readily found at most sporting goods retailers.
