My most accurate Model 1911 is a custom Bullseye match gun built by Jim Clark, and it averages 1.10 inches at 25 yards with its favorite match ammunition. That was with the gun fired over sandbags, not in a machine rest, and for four, five-shot groups with each load. All loads functioned perfectly.Īt a distance of 25 yards, all of those loads produced five-shot group averages that measured 4 inches or less. 45 ACP ball ammunition only." I ignored that recommendation and fired the 1911 BKO with five factory loads, ranging in bullet weight from 165 to 230 grains and with bullet styles ranging from FMJ through SWC to JHP. 45-caliber handguns, we recommend the use of 230-grain.

The owner's manual that came with the Auto Ordnance 1911 BKO states, "For proper functioning in all Auto Ordnance.
It's similar to the military Du-Lite black oxide finish that was used on Singer and some Remington-Rand, Ithaca, and Union Switch & Signal Model 1911A1s, but it is different than other more familiar original military finishes, including high-polish blue, dull blue, brushed, brown, and Parkerized finishes. The 1911 BKO's magazine tube is stamped with the KMT logo, and it's also marked "45 Auto Made in U.S.A."Īuto-Ordnance calls the 1911 BKO's black oxide finish "matte black" in its literature. The military magazine had a "flat-shelf" style of follower, and the baseplate was not drilled and tapped. That's not the military style of baseplate or follower. The magazine's baseplate is drilled and tapped, and the follower is rounded. The fixed rear sight is dovetailed into the top of the slide and is drift-adjustable for windage.Ĭapacity of the 1911 BKO's magazine is seven rounds, and the pistol comes with one blued-steel magazine. The 1911A1-style grip safety does not have a beavertail or a memory bump. The arched mainspring housing is serrated and has a lanyard loop located at the bottom. The square notch in the Auto Ordnance 1911 BKO's rear sight is 0.08 inch wide, so the thickness of the front sight's blade and the width of the rear sight's notch combine to make a good sight picture. It's not exactly like the old military Model 1911A1 however, it is similar to the Type 3 front sight, which was serrated and measured 0.10 inch high and 0.08 inch wide. The front sight is 0.09 inch tall and 0.08 inch thick, according to my digital caliper, and its ramped portion has fine horizontal serrations going all the way down. As such, the rear sight is drift-adjustable for windage. The sights are traditional military style, with the front blade staked into the slide and the rear dovetailed. The Auto Ordnance 1911 BKO's slide is made of carbon steel and is machined from solid bar stock. In fact, it looks a lot like the one on my Remington-Rand 1911A1. Like original 1911A1s, the Auto Ordnance 1911 BKO's ejection port is not flared or lowered. The grasping grooves slant slightly toward the rear. The Auto Ordnance 1911 BKO's slide has grasping grooves at the rear only and a smooth, rounded top.
