The ejection port along with the barrel hood.Īlso period correct hammer and grip safety. The short trigger was a little heavy but broke clean. The arched mainspring housing with correct lanyard loop. The thumb safety looked correct for an original 1911A1, and engaged and disengaged positively. The barrel bushing fit was snug but not so tight that a bushing wrench was needed to remove.
#AUTO ORDNANCE 1911 MAGAZINE SERIES#
The supplied magazine is a little different then what I am used to seeing but as for the rest of the pistol, other than the Series 80 firing pin safety I believe it to be a good 1911A1 reproduction. With that in mind this pistol detail strips as any other Series 80 equipped Government Model (though notice the extra long firing pin spring).Īccording to Auto Ordnance the pistol's frame is cast while the slide is barstock and the barrel is a one-piece item. This Kahr-built Auto-Ordnance uses the Colt Series 80 firing pin safety. Kahr Arms bought Auto-Ordnance in 1999 and, from what I understand, the quality was improved upon. Quality of Auto-Ordnance firearms under Numrich's stewardship is generally regarded as questionable. A few years ago the brand was owned by Numrich Gun Parts Corp. It is worth mentioning that the name Auto-Ordnance has undergone changes of ownership. After a little time a Kahr built Auto-Ordnance showed up at Jim's Guns in Raleigh waiting for me and some range time. I contacted Frank Harris with Kahr Arms immediately to get the details.
