It is an Auto Ordnance 1911 that was worn out when I bought it over 20 years ago. It had gotten to the point of utter unreliability, so I had no choice but to get some work done. After asking around here, I found out about Randy Lee. Called their shop and he agreed to work on it for me. Great people that I can't speak highly enough of. Sounds like they strike terror in the Smith & Wesson Factory Shop guys when they show up at meets. It sounds like I am very fortunate to have Randy take on my project. I think that they have become an R&D shop and now are offering their own line of parts. Great people IMHO.

Nice. Enjoy. Where is SLOSA?
When I was at Poly we always used to pull off the 101 at the crest of the hill (forgetting the name of the peak) on the way to Atascadero. It was just an open area at the end of a long dirt road. Awesome place to shoot, but I'm sure it's been shut down by the "they" years ago...Comment

SLOSA is on Hwy 1 between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay. Best shooting facility in CA according to some reports.

Ah! I was going to guess that. I used to drive by that place on the way to the rock to get some chowder now and then. But, and I'm seriously dating myself, we always hit that place up on the hill I spoke about because it was free, and totally uncontrolled. Granted, if I knew then what I know now, we would have carted our bullet-riddled crap back home with us...Comment

Forgot to take pics of my target. At 15 yards from a rest, the first group of 8 created 1 ragged hole. Standing unrested, the group @ 15 yards opened up to 2-2 1/2". Fed and functioned flawlessly with the 2 Chip McCormick power mags, but the RIA factory mag that I borrowed from my son somehow kept it from going fully into battery twice. A little tap forward and it fired just fine.
It fed my reloads just fine. Both 200gr semi wadcutter flat nose and 230gr round nose Berry's fed without issue. Twice I had brass hit me on the top of my head, but the rest of them ended up behind and to the right.
New USGI type barrel, new thumb safety, new beavertail grip safety, set extractor tension, fit safeties, and generally tune it up. Parts & labor came in just north of $200. I could not be more pleased with the accuracy and function of my 1911 now. I will take pictures of it once it returns home. My son got out of class @ 11:15 at Cuesta college and met me at the range. I handed it off to him so that he could compare it against his RIA 1911.
Now, go do some business with Apex Tactical Specialties. They are great folks and support our sport, so support them.

Was that you with the stainless gun, on lane #2. Older gent?"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."......CiceroComment

Older Gent?????
Oh, now that hurts :-)
I was on the pistol side, on the second lane from the RSO shack, wearing a black Hawaian shirt, shooting a ss 1911. Where you the fella with the sweeeett Colt?
