The Auto-Ordnance 1911BKO delivers classic 1911 reliability with modern manufacturing precision at an accessible price point. This full-size .45 ACP pistol combines traditional design elements with practical upgrades for today's shooters.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic 1911 models, the 1911BKO features a serrated slide for enhanced grip during manipulation and checkered polymer grips that provide consistent texture in wet conditions. The matte black finish resists corrosion better than standard blued steel while maintaining the classic appearance. Auto-Ordnance builds these pistols to GI specifications with tighter tolerances than original wartime production.Key Features
