When I got the A-O home I noticed the front sight had loosened up just a shade. I did make it a point to run a few extra JHPs through the pistol using a different magazine and I am confident it was a magazine issue.
I went through 165 rounds that morning and aside from the two misfeeds from the factory magazine there were no more problems. The pistol has some heft to it and the trigger is somewhat heavy but breaks clean. I then incorporated eight round Colt Checkmate magazines and an old seven round magazine I have had many years and function from then on was again without incident. I had two misfeeds using Hornady 200gr JHP with the factory magazine with the void of the hollow point resting against the feed ramp. The factory magazine did not like JHP (in all fairness the manual clearly states that 230gr FMJ is the recommended ammunition). Function with the 230gr ball was without incident. I started out with Winchester 230gr FMJ using the factory magazine. I set up the range table about ten feet from the muzzle, applied a little CLP in the sweet spots, and got to it. First up was getting the velocities over my CED chronograph. The first morning out with the A-O was a day tailored made for a range trip.

The barrel bushing fit was snug but not so tight that a bushing wrench was needed to remove. 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 and a different front strap it is not a bad reproduction According to Auto Ordnance the pistol’s frame is cast while the slide is barstock and the barrel is a one-piece item.
It is close to the original pistols with a few changes made to revisit the design. This Kahr-built Auto-Ordnance 1911PKZSE is a revisiting of the old M1911 pistols from 1911-1923.
