Condition and key features

This listing is described as Charles Daly 1911 45ACP 1 8rnd Mag Slight Wear on Hammer & Slide, No Box. That tells you several things at a glance: the pistol is chambered in .45 ACP, it comes with one 8-round magazine, there is slight wear on the hammer and slide consistent with normal use, and the original box is not included. At a price of $650.99, this is positioned as an affordable route onto a strategic, single-stack defensive platform.

Why the .45 ACP matters

.45 ACP remains a favored defensive caliber for its controllable recoil in a single-stack 1911 frame and solid terminal performance at common defensive engagement distances. For shooters who value the 1911 grip angle and trigger break, the caliber complements the platform’s advantages in controllability and pointability.

Practical considerations for buyers

Inspecting the slight wear on hammer and slide is a priority; surface wear rarely affects function but should be confirmed to be cosmetic only. Since the pistol ships without a box, confirm included accessories (holster fit, magazine condition) and run a safety and function check before relying on it for carry. The single 8-round magazine indicates standard 1911 capacity for many civilian defensive configurations.
