Thought I would throw some gun porn up for y'all. Auto-Ordnance Thompson 1911 Deluxe in .45 ACP with custom match grade barrel bushing,barrel, extended slide release, smoothed action, and handmade olive wood grips. Everything but the grips was done by yours truly. ![[Linked Image]](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii191/magnumthomas/DSC02825.jpg) New home defense gun Taurus 24/7 PRO .45 ACP ![[Linked Image]](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii191/magnumthomas/DSC02827.jpg) The 8 shooter Taurus Raging Hornet .22 Hornet ![[Linked Image]](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii191/magnumthomas/DSC02828.jpg)

Watch that Auto-Ordnance out shoot the Kimbers at my local range too. Post KAHR buyout though, I know the pre buyout guns have a bad reputation.
The 24/7 PRO is 12+1

DA/SA with double strike capability. Its long but it feels good. Safe action type trigger thats all the rage, but also has a thumb saftey just like a 1911, same spot too.

So far! Only had it about a month now, but its has gone about 250 rounds now without a hitch.
When I first got it, I did a pretty basic, cursory cleaning. I was kinda disappointed with the accuracy, not bad at all just wanted more. I did a really detailed cleaning found it was a good bit dirtier that I first thought, and it has come around quite well.

Gunsite used Auto Ordnance pistols as the basis of their models for many years.

The Auto Ordnance guns were pretty awful. I think that after I got there [Gunsite] in 1991, and we started building the GSP's again, on SA guns, that I bought back about a dozen of those AO guns - just to get them off the street!
Ted Yost, formerly of Gunsite Of course the above quote has nothing to do with current Kahr/AO pistols.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
