There is something satisfying about a plain single shot with real wood on it, and the Charles Daly 101 delivers exactly that. This .410 bore version wears a checkered walnut stock and forend over a black steel receiver, with a 26 inch barrel that gives you a smooth swing and a nice long sighting plane down to the brass bead up front. The 3 inch chamber means you can run everything from light 2.5 inch target loads to full 3 inch hunting shells, so it handles squirrels, rabbits, dove, and around-the-property duty without complaint.
The break-open action is about as simple as a firearm gets. Pull the release lever ahead of the trigger guard, drop a shell in, close it up, and you are ready. That one-at-a-time pace, combined with the naturally soft recoil of the .410, makes this a favorite for teaching new and younger shooters the fundamentals. Every shot counts when you only get one, and that tends to build better habits than a gun that lets you spray follow-ups. A manual safety and an extractor that lifts the spent hull for easy removal round out the basics.
At right around five and a half pounds, the 101 is the kind of gun you grab on the way out the door. It rides easy in a truck, on an ATV, or over your shoulder on a long walk through the brush. The fixed modified choke is a sensible all-around constriction for a .410, tight enough to keep patterns useful at typical small game distances but open enough for closer flushing shots.
This model comes from Charles Daly by way of Chiappa, and the 101 platform is built around interchangeable barrels, so the design has more flexibility than its price class suggests. Between the walnut furniture, steel construction, and dead-simple operation, this is the sort of shotgun that gets handed down rather than traded in.
Yes. The 101 has a 3 inch chamber, so it handles standard 2.5 inch shells as well as full 3 inch loads. That gives you plenty of flexibility, from light target loads for practice to heavier payloads for small game hunting.
It is one of the most common picks for exactly that. The .410 bore keeps recoil mild, the single shot break-open action is easy to understand and supervise, and the one-round capacity encourages careful, deliberate shooting. Buyers regularly pick this one up as a trainer for kids and grandkids.
No, it uses an extractor rather than an ejector. When you break the action open, the extractor lifts the spent hull partway out of the chamber so you can pluck it out by hand. It is a simple, reliable setup with fewer parts to worry about.
This particular barrel comes with a fixed modified choke, which is a solid all-purpose constriction for a .410 at typical small game ranges. The 101 platform is designed around interchangeable barrels, so the receiver itself is not locked into one configuration for life.
