What I've heard is that if the state the AO 1911 pistol was made in is listed as NY on the frame, you might not have good luck with the pistol but even that seems not like a written in stone law.

I'll have to check but this is what I've been told so far. My godchild's 1st birthday is Sunday so I may not have a chance for a while.Īs far as I know, most if not all USGI parts should fit. Will post photos when I get a chance, if I do buy. I also think I'll grin more from the 230gr. It's old but works well but does have some fail to feed issues I'm looking forward to finding out what the AO 1911 will accomplish, and it's certainly easier for me to do work to the new 1911 to correct ills than I can bring myself to do with a numbers matching WWII veteran P.38. My only experience with mil-spec pistols is a 1944 production P.38 which I purchased a while time ago. I looked briefly at them on Wednesday and I was fairly impressed. I'm told I should make certain that if I buy, it was made in Worcester MA. But it's still a 1911, which many folks feel is the pistol that 'got it right' in terms of function for military spec handguns No, it's not a perfect reproduction, and yes, some say the Auto Ordnance pistols are a bit of a crap shoot. This one was made after Kahr started running the show, and has the vertical slide serrations I have read many positive things about them as well but I m not expecting a superstar out of the box. The price is right on the one I'm looking at. I particularly liked the reviewer who didn't clean his for three days as he reviewed the pistol. I've read up on the Auto Ordnance 1911 and it's something of a mixed bag, but even some folks who didn't like them initially warmed to them, or else made a nice pistol out of what was a marginal one. This Auto Ordnance is the closest I'll get barring a windfall of money or a Law change- fat chance Unfortunately, where I live, a real live Colt 1911 is prohibitively expensive, even more so if it's an old one- 3K and up- because the only ones that can legally be sold here are those that were in the State prior to the Law change, which fixes the price on a premium. Tomorrow I may purchase, used but in excellent condition, an Auto Ordnance M1911A1 in the parkerized USGI type finish
