Key Features
- Double-Stack 10+1 Capacity – Why it matters: You get 10 rounds of 9mm in a 1911 platform, giving you more firepower than standard single-stack 1911s without sacrificing the slim profile.
- Black Oxide Finish – Why it matters: This corrosion-resistant coating protects the steel frame and slide from sweat, humidity, and field use, keeping the gun looking sharp.
- Classic 1911 Controls – Why it matters: Familiar thumb safety, grip safety, and slide release mean zero learning curve if you already shoot 1911s. You can run this gun hard right out of the box.
- Full-Size Steel Frame – Why it matters: The all-steel construction soaks up recoil from 9mm, making follow-up shots faster and more accurate. It’s built to last thousands of rounds.
- Adjustable Rear Sight – Why it matters: You can dial in windage and elevation for your specific load or distance, giving you precision at the range or in competition.
Who It’s For
This 1911 is for the shooter who wants a reliable 9mm 1911 with higher capacity but doesn’t want to drop $1,000+. It fits range enthusiasts, USPSA shooters, and anyone who prefers the 1911 ergonomics and trigger. If you carry a 1911 in .45 ACP and want a cheaper-to-shoot 9mm trainer, this is your gun.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: High capacity for a 1911, affordable price, steel frame for durability, classic controls, adjustable rear sight.
- Cons: The black oxide finish is less durable than modern Cerakote; you’ll want to keep it oiled in humid environments. Some users report the trigger pull breaks around 5-6 lbs out of the box, which is serviceable but not match-grade.

FAQ
Does the CHARLES DALY 1911 FIELD 9MM 10+1 BLACK come with extra magazines?
It ships with one 10-round magazine. Extra magazines are available separately from Charles Daly or aftermarket sources.
Is this 1911 compatible with standard 1911 holsters?
Yes, because it uses a standard 1911 frame profile, most full-size 1911 holsters will fit. The 9mm barrel length is the same as a standard 5-inch 1911.
Can I use +P ammunition in this pistol?
Per Charles Daly specs, the 1911 Field is rated for standard-pressure 9mm ammunition. +P loads may accelerate wear on the steel frame; stick to 115-124 grain FMJ for range use.
