FAQ

Is the Auto-Ordnance Old Glory 1911 reliable for self-defense?

Yes, it features a full-length recoil guide rod and a stainless steel frame for durability. Per Auto-Ordnance specs, it’s tested for reliable cycling with standard .45 ACP ammunition. However, like any 1911, it benefits from a break-in period of 200–300 rounds.

Can I change the grips on this pistol?

Yes, the grips are standard 1911 pattern, so you can swap them for aftermarket options. But the star-and-stripe engraving is unique to this model, so think twice before replacing them.

What holsters fit the Old Glory 1911?

Any holster designed for a 5-inch 1911 with a full-length dust cover will work. Kydex or leather holsters from brands like Galco or CrossBreed are good choices.

Is the Burnt Bronze finish durable?

Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating that resists corrosion, abrasion, and solvents. The distressed finish is intentionally worn-looking, but it still provides solid protection. Per the manufacturer, it’s rated for over 1,000 hours of salt spray testing.

Does this pistol come with a case or extra magazine?

It ships in a hard plastic case with one 7-round magazine, a cable lock, and a manual. Extra magazines are available separately.
