I purchased this item last fall after years of hesitating... I was happy to find out that everything was finished nicely and it ran well with my .45 reloads. Based on my internet research, it seems that Kahr has made some welcome changes to the Auto Ordinance design/quality. The gun is plenty accurate for a pistol-caliber carbine (limited only by the .45ACP cartridge), although it can be difficult to hold for some shooters due to its weight. I should also note that the gun will be difficult, if not impossible, for smaller/weaker shooters to operate due to the EXTREMELY heavy recoil springs (yes, there are two). The stiff operation is a result of the weapon design and not a result of poor quality fit/finish.

I have run several hundred reloads through my 1927A1 using two different 30-round stick mags and a 10-round drum (Ohio limits capacity to 31), with very few issues. The extractor was very tight in the beginning, which can prevent the extractor claw from "jumping" the case rim while chambering, but that seems to be much better after 100-200 rounds. I have had a few issues with cheap factory ammo, but it appears to be due to very soft primers that the Thompson hammer/pin destroys, causing the case to stick in the bolt and not eject properly. I have no doubt that the weapon will fire reliably with proper ammunition.

Overall, I am very happy with my purchase since there is nothing else like it out there... And the 13.5 pounds of walnut and steel should last a lifetime with proper maintenance.
