Is a Charles Daly Semiautomatic shotgun worth purchasing?

Answer 1

I have purchased several shotguns including the Charles Daly. The easy answer is yes it is worth purchasing; however, be aware that you get what you pay for. I am guessing that your interest is in purchasing a shotgun in the $300 to $400 range. My Charles Daly has so far proven to be reliable with proper maintenance and I would recommend these for the price. It is not the same quality gun as a Browning, Benelli or Beretta, and I suspect does not have the "snob" factor associated with these other manufacturers. What Charles Daly does provide is a simple, lightweight shotgun at an affordable price. In this same price range a person might consider a quality pump action shotgun such as the Benelli Nova or Remington 870. In my case I already owned a Nova and simply wanted an inexpensive semiautomatic for field use.
