The West Hurley pistols were as indicated above, less than nicely made firearms, however, the current Kahr owned Auto Ordnance pistols are every bit the match of their competition. Your pistol unfortunately appears to be the former I would peddle it and buy a new 1911 of your choice. Bleach mobile 3d pack code 2021.

The serial numbers were basically manufactured in sequential order. Some serial numbers were never manufactured, while many special serial numbers were made during the regular manufacturing process. These special numbers are too vast to list, however we have included them in the quantity counts. The Deluxe and Standard models were not distinguished in the log books.

Each Lightweight is identified with a 'LW' at the end of the serial number.
