I know this is magazine info so who knows but either my newest Guns and ammo or Guns magazines
had a budget 1911 article. The AO was part of it, they said it ran perfect and had a nice old school GI feel.
From what i've read also the new AO's are much better under Kahr now than they used to be. I've never had a chance to look at any of the newer ones so I don't have any firsthand knowledge.
