Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.
Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued. IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement.

CD 1911 owners: What are your plans for your pistols?
I own an EFS and an ECS both made in '04. The full size is my night gun, the compact is a very frequent carry. They are the only 1911's I own at this time, and I am really pleased to have them - they have been more reliable and accurate than I ever expected, and when I do buy another 1911 it will be another ARMSCOR - made pistol.
I plan on keeping mine till I am too old and feeble to rack the slides anymore. I everything I wanted in a 1911 type pistol in these Armscor-made CD's, and I plan on just maintaining them and hanging on to them, maybe leaving them to one of my brothers after I leave here. How do you feel about your CD's? mark |

My CD ECS is my daily carry. Dead on accurate and eats whatever I feed It. I have no plans to ever get rid of it.

I don't carry my CD EMS daily but do shoot it a good bit and plan on hanging on to it and passing it along to the Grandsons down the line. It is a fine firearm and one that I enjoy and trust. I did have to replace the extractor a while back but I consider that normal maintenance.
 I picked it up used about 3 years ago and have put several hundred rounds through it and consider it to be an excellent shooter.

Check around, some members have reported that they're getting good service from Armscor in Nevada.

When I evaluated the Charles Daly EFS in the winter of 2008, I was mightily impressed. Not too many months after this review was published, Michael Kassner dissolved the company.

The 4" stainless one I picked up a few months ago has been great so far. I may bobtail it sometime. I put new grips on it (Larry Davidson' 4x4 grip).
I e-mailed Ivan at Armscor and found out (after an e-mail to the Phillipines) it was made in Dec 2003.

You guys are pretty lucky. I think I must have gotten one of the last guns out of the factory. I bigger problem peice I've never seen. In their defense, Ivan did offer to have me send it back and go thru it. I decided with the cost of shipping etc, it might be a good "project" After replacing many internal broken parts, and smoothing and polishing, I found out this week from an armorer that the throat of the gun (.45) is not round, rather oblong- you can press (kind of - force) an empty shell into the throat and barely able to turn it, but when it goes about 20 degrees, it turns very easily.
Found a nice series 70 barrel and it will need fitting but that's about the last resort. I hate to sell this for parts.... I'll have about 900 bucks in this by the time I'm done. Not a happy camper. |
