LOVE your tag-line buddy!!
A firearm should be a tool in the hands of a deadly weapon, not a deadly weapon in the hands of a tool.
I heard it somewhere once...it stuck in my head

You get what you pay for.
Never owned one but i have seen a couple break. They are a little rough around the edges and their small parts quality is questionable but if it is only going to see a couple range trips a year then it wouldn't be a bad 1911 to own.
If it was going to be a gun that I carried to defend my life then I would look at something with a better track record.

If only life were really that simple! You also get to pay for image building advertising, and "name cachet"

I am happy to see this, although it was not my experience...Most of what I read today indicates that they have come a long way.Happened to listen to an interview with the CEO (Martin Tauson) of ARMSCOR yesterday. I didn't realize that they had only been in the 1911 game since about 1999. He stated that if you have any of their early 1911's and are having a problem, get in contact with customer service. He was really stressing the CS side of the business and price point too.
Despite the Series 80 firing pin safety, the slightly enlarged ejection port, the longer 1911-style trigger, and the "white" barrel hood, I would submit that the A-O is still the most authentic representation of the World War 2-era 1911A1 on the market today.Doesn't the auto-ordinance use a firing pin safety? (Not authentic for WWII 1911A1.)
Are the frames and slides made in the USA? Or are the AIs made in USA from imported parts? I assumed the latter but haven't done any digging.
