I bought one of those about three years ago. I must say that I’ve owned and shot worse! 3:26 PM Isaac Coverstone said. I believe it was meant to compete against the commercial Colt pistols of the time. I don't remember it having any plastic parts and the gun was blue not parkerized. As far as accuracy went, it shot to point of aim with 230 gn ball and you could bounce a coffee can around all day at 25 yards. The trigger was adequate, not great but okay. It was pre Kahr, not that I have anything against Kahr I own two, and reliability was 100%. 30 M1 Carbines, so maybe they'll focus on those or even add M1 Garands. They're having much more success with their. With more and more gun companies offering 1911A1's these days, I don't know how much longer K/AO will continue to do so.
#AUTO ORDNANCE 1911 PARKERIZED SERIES#
The Kahr/Auto Ordnance 1911A1's have the Series 80 firing pin safety, according to the website. At $500 though, I think I would just buy a Springfield GI45 instead. Before Kahr took over Auto Ordnance, the reported reliability of these pistols was spotty. I could not place my finger on exactly what, but something seemed to be out of spec dimensionally. With a bit of wear, a stamped M1911A1 trigger, a blackened barrel, and some real surplus grips, It could initially fool those who are not really familiar with GI pistols. The store was asking $499 for it, a good deal judging from the auction sites.Īll in all, the Auto Ordnance pistol looked the part. The parkerized pistol came with one magazine. The rollmark was discreet, a simple small "Model 1911A1 US Army" mark on the left side of the slide.
I was pleased to see that the thumb safety was styled after the GI "nubbin" safety, and the lanyard looped mainspring housing was steel. The trigger appeared to be plastic with two small holes through it. The stainless steel barrel shone through the ejection port like a million candle spotlight. I honestly could not help but compare it to an authentic M1911A1, after all, that is what it was trying to imitate. I had heard about this pistol as an alternative to the Springfield GI 45, so I gave it a once over. It did not appear to be a Springfield GI45, so I became curious and asked to see it. I stopped in a local gun store this morning to pick up some carry ammunition, and while there, I saw a new GI type 1911 underneath the glass.
