Charles Daly semi autos.

[9 m&m]

How good are these things?? I am in need of a semi auto shotgun that could be used for duck and deer hunting. What is the workmanship on these? Are they reliable w/ light bird shot loads to 3" mag slugs? Tell me everything you know on these things.( NOT about Rem.1100's or Win. 1400's etc. )
Thanks for any info!!!

they seem to be built good,i judge them by how many we get for repair,this year 1,broken bolt lock,called CD,they sent one for free,good deal.they have parts.were a dealer for them so we get parts from them.

A lot of people have said they are the same as Beretta's 390.

I have heard that quality is just as good as the 390.

I owned a Maxi-Mag pump and it was a very good gun for the money. Always functioned, nice and light weight, breakdown was easiest of any gun I own. I got rid of it and got a Mossberg 500 just because it seems like Daly will never release their rifled barrels. The 500 isn't nearly as smooth...

CD Shotgun

I used a CD autoloader 12 gauge for a prop in a local IDPA shoot. Everyone had to clean 3 poppers with the shotty and then transition to handgun.

The CD ran all day in the rain with 3 dram shells. I felt the gun handled well and think it's a good bargain for the money.

I musta got a bad one, wouldn't eject and then jammed- traded it off at a gun show.

What kind of ammo were you using?
You can't get a low priced auto, feed it underpowered shells, and then expect it to cycle well.
