I have the Auto Ordnance 1911A1( 100th Anniversary). I have put 200 rds or so through it, without an issue. I also recently bought the Auto Ordnance Tommy Gun and that runs flawless too.
I have one on my radar and am interested in your first hand experience.
Generally it seems like most of the replies to the op are positive.
I like the look of the auto ordnance - but I want it to shoot well too. Looking at the Auto Ordnance for a long term project gun but shooting well ootb is a definite plus.
