Charles Daly 1911 Empire .45 ACP 5in Chrome | 440.147

The Charles Daly Chiappa 1911 Empire Grade is a full-size .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol with a 5-inch barrel and a polished chrome finish. It is fitted with textured black G10 grips and ships with adjustable target sights and two 8-round magazines, providing an 8+1 capacity. The pistol uses a single-action trigger system and includes manual and internal safeties consistent with traditional 1911 controls. For a compact reflex sight under $1,000 that suits a target-oriented 1911, consider the Trijicon RMR Type 2 used with an appropriate mounting plate or slide cut; note the slide is not drilled or tapped and mounting an optic will require the correct mounting solution.
