Comments:
This is the D-Day
50th
Anniversary Commemorative version of the Daisy Model 45 (Colt
variant). Only 5,000 of these pistols were produced in 1994 and
the serial number of this gun is 4746. The older guns in the
Daisy 45 series had very stiff firing mechanisms (trigger pull >
12 lb). This gun actually has a heavier SA pull than it does in
DA. Later versions (labeled as 4500) are much smoother. The
magazines are interchangeable among all the versions. Although I
usually don't collect cosmetically different versions of the
same gun (I already had a Daisy 45 Limited Edition), it was hard
to pass up owning a gun commemorating the
50th Anniversary of the
Longest Day.
Performance:
Measurements were made on
8/28/06 at a temperature of 87 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot string was fired
from a bench rest at 15' using Gamo Match pellets (7.7 gr).
The highest velocity measured was 366 fps, the lowest was 326 fps
(average of the 10-shot string was 344 fps). A six shot string
fired with open sights grouped at 0.64". Click the thumbnail below to see a
