For AO owners a Question
I have had my 1911A1 for about a month now and put 500 rounds through it.
It started off pretty rough with issues on feeding and ejecting but now, after the 500 rounds and Gun Butter and a very small amount of polishing it is performing very well. My satisfaction is pretty high for the amount I paid for it. So I am wondering if you other AO owners are satisfied or if you regret your purchase? I am pretty sure I would not buy another AO since I now have the basic 1911 I wanted and may build it to a higher standard but I am not going to say I never would. Just wondering on the thoughts of other owners.

I have a four year old Auto Ord. with 12,000 rounds on it. I have swapped out trigger, sear and a few other internal parts but the basic gun is stock. It is utterly reliable, tight and very accurate. I too had some problems early on but now it is smooth as silk. Shoot it and enjoy!

I have an older Deluxe model and am quite satisfied with it. I have not had any problems with feeding, extraction or ejection of any cartridge. Nor have I had any problems with sights flying off. My current round count is 2000 with most of it being 230gr ball and Remington Saber hollow points. With these it hits at point of aim.

old A.O.
Mine is an old N.Y. model, and it fails to extract occasionally, (clocking?), and hits me in the forehead with the last empty, but it is one of the most accurate pistols I have. No regrets.

I purchased two new AO 1911A1PKSE pistols in January 2007. Both have at least 1000 rounds of ball through them without any malfunctions. My plan was to use them as a base for a custom build, but because they have operated so well, I'm going to leave one alone and only tinker with the other. I'm just having too much fun shooting with the pistols so I might only invest in some decent grips and sights. I'm very satisfied for the price I paid.

Thanks for the feed back. It's nice to get a feel for what others with experience have to say about thier AO's. I'm complelty satisfied with mine at this point. Sure it took a little more effort to get it performing to a state I can be happy with but for what I paid and learned in getting it up to par I am quite happy.
Thanks again.

Looks like you have put a round or two through that baby. Thanks for the feedback. Seems like the AO crowd does not post very much or often...which I guess is a good thing because it must mean there are not to many problems associated with the AO's.

I got one of the newer GI models. Looks good for a WWII repro, not very smooth on the innards. Didn't like the 80 series type firing pin safety. I have had awful customer service from AO regarding part orders. I get the runaround when I called also. I think customer service is a big part of any company I buy products from. I will keep it and tinker with it, but, I cannot recommend it or buy another one in the foreseeable future.
