I am also anticipating a report. The A-O GI pistol used to have a problem with the front strap being too "square," which resulted in too much exposed flat in the sides forward of the grip panels. Springfield's GI replicas used to have this problem, too, but Springfield corrected it about a decade ago. I'm curious to know if Kahr/Auto-Ordnance has figured this out yet.

Took it to the indoor range and it shot very good. All targets were killed on the 1st shot at 25ft. It felt comfortable. The only prob was last round didn't feed on about 5 of the ten mag changes.( I have 6 new military surplus 7 rounders) I think it was the mags as its hard to limp wrist this heavy beast. I don't expect tight groups with these prehistoric sights but all were on target and once I got the feel I was able to group some tight ones ( les then 2 inch )
