Exactly how much shorter is the grip compared to a standard size 1911 frame?
A photo of the guns overlapping would be most helpful.

I looked the part up on a 1911 diagram and that's what I was referring to. I've only had experience on the Browning FN high power in the military and I didn't recall it having that. Thanks.

The BHP has an internal magazine safety that means the gun will only fire with a mag inserted. The 1911 has a grip safety that means the gun has to be held tightly to fire. There aren't many other guns that have a grip safety. Sort of an answer to a question that should have been ignored IMHO.

Six rounds not seven for the Officer Model frame. The grips are shorter, and the mainspring housing is different.

The ACT mag that comes with the gun holds seven rounds. Also Wilson Combat Officer mags hold seven as well. The E-Lander mags on the site hold six.

CCO (Concealed Carry Officers) is considered a desirable configuration as it is more reliable with the 4.25 barrel/slide, while having a short grip for concealed carry.
Colt made this a few years back before other companies picked up on the concept.
To put things in perspective over a decade ago I had to have CCO's built by Don Williams and imported as they were almost impossible to get in Canada...especially in 9mm like the pair I ordered.
Just like the WK180C, we are now getting guns at a reasonable price that we could only dream about 10 to 20 years ago.

Mine arrived, looks pretty good, a lot of ugly rusty grease all over it , once its cleaned it should be great
Yes it's a grip safety, part of the beavertail, it pivots to safe when you grip the pistol.
The Springfield XD pistols also have a grip safety but most modern guns don't.

How did it clean up? Did it arrive in a box or a plastic case if you don't mind me asking. It's my first semi-auto pistol and I'm pretty excited about it. I have really big mitts and hope the grip will work for me.

cardboard box , cleaned up ok, nicely made, small grip for big hands, you will probably like the commander better with the longer grip

So you're saying it's a dog? Or perhaps the dog's name is Sam?
