This may be a dumb question, but why would anyone want a sealed / non-removable base-plate magazine? How would you clean it?
Btw.. Not noob to guns at all, but I am totally new to 1911's... I'm about to give that $350 AO (by Kahr) a try.

That's what the military specified way back in the early 1900s. The sealed magazines won't fall apart on the battlefield. They are easy to clean by removing the follower and the spring from the top of the mag.
AO by Kahr? Put your money down on a Colt or a Springer. You'll be miles ahead.

I second what SCF says about purchasing a Colt or Springfield instead of an AO. The AO will be basically worthless the instant you walk out the gunshop door with it....JMO
