I DID CHECK to ensure it wasn't stolen before I bought it.ITS NOT. There have apparently been a few modifications made to the gun I have so that might be it, but I can't attest to the modifications other than those that are readily visible like the rear sights, etc., as I bought it off a guy who says he won it in a raffle. (?) Its interesting to learn about, and from my limited use of the gun, I've found it to be rather reliable and accurate, haven't had any of the issues I've read about.

I have also heard a number of people state that the Pre Kahr 1911 was the better gun if the serial number was below 50000. And condition seems to have some impact but mostly the price seems to be based on the reputation of the gun itself. But in doing the research I hear lots of bad things about the Pre Kahr 1911's and can't find anything on when it was made. That said, I've been doing some research since I intended to trade it for another gun (a revolver - Taurus Judge 3' 45lc/410 chambered for 3' rounds). (Pre Kahr I understand because of the AOC preceding the serial #) I've had it for several years now and barely used it as I'm more into revolvers. I have a Thompson / Auto Ordinance Ao 1911 A1 with serial number AOC 22512. I'm also new to the forum and have a number of questions. 1911 1911A1.45 Colt.45 ACP Production Statistics and Serial Numbers. Kahr Arms bought Auto-Ordnance in 1999 and, from what I understand, the quality was improved upon. Quality of Auto-Ordnance firearms under Numrich's stewardship is generally regarded as questionable.
