I can't answer your question but I have had some experience with Auto Ordinance pistols.

The first one was a .45 auto. It jammed regularly. I discovered the extractor had no tension at all. Instead of sending it back, I happened to have a GI spare and installed it which cured the problem.

I next had a 10mm. It actually shot better than either of the Colt Delta Elites I had. When cleaning the barrel, I noticed a slight defect (it looked like a slight crater, maybe 2mm across inside one groove). I suspect it was a cast barrel and there had been a slight bubble in the steel.

I wrote Auto Ordinance and they shipped me a new barrel and requested I return the old one.

As luck would have it, the new one was not as accurate. I phoned the plant and talked to a supervisor who clearly knew what he was doing. He told me to just keep the original barrel which I did.

I guess their quality control could have been better but they were good to deal with.

Was you experience with Auto Ordinance before or after Kahr Arms bought them?
