![]() ![]() As much as I liked my first AO, this new one made 15 years after my first is simply incredible. With the high volume of handgun sales it to me over a year to find another Mass Compliant AO 1911. Soon though I realized that of all those other guns the only one I truly missed was the plain Jane GI AO with the U.S. ![]() A trip to Hawaii for my son’s wedding forced me (it was actually my wife who forced me) to sell a big chuck of my collection so the packerized AO went along with all the other 1911’s except the Colt Competition. The Colt Competition Model became available in Massachusetts so I soon had one of those as well. Soon I was able to add a number of Smith and Wesson 1911’s to my collection as well as a few used Colts that I was able to come across. I was very pleased even though I had to put a heavier main spring in so it would go into battery and finding a competent gunsmith to stake on a new front sight blade after the original flew off. The gun was better than any M1911 that I have seen while serving in the Army and Army National Guard. At that time this was the only 1911 model pistol of any manufacturer that was “Massachusetts Compliant”. The first had a parkerized finish that I purchased in 2005. ![]()
