The phrase polishing a turd comes to mind.

One that shoots 45 acp and is reliable. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to have a good 1911.
now and then you may stumble across an Auto Ordinance 1911 that is not junk.
I bought one so the kids could learn the 1911 without wearing out my Colt... best $350 I ever spent. Once you get past the casting parting lines on some of the smaller parts... this gun shoots and feeds as well or better than any of the other 1911 pistols I've owned. It will cycle empty cases....

On the cheap, Rock Island is the way to go. You almost never hear complaints about them except they ain't as purdy as the others. The best would be the near custom ones like Les Baer, Nighthawk, Wilson Combat, etc., but I'm perfectly happy with my RIA's and would rather spend my extra 2 grand on some other toys.
I get poo pawed when I mention my Charles Daly, it is the FS model, bulit like a tank and weighs just as much. Not my carry gun, but fun to shoot and it goes bang when it suppose to, every time. Cost was $425.
I'm pretty sure it is made by Armscor, the same that make the Rock Island, Citadel, and a couple others. I would think they would be of equal quality, but I haven't heard much about any of them but the Rock Islands.
All it say in the users manual is Charles Daly Harrisburg PA for service etc.
The gun is made in the Philippines.
