    Exactly how much shorter is the grip compared to a standard size 1911 frame?

    A photo of the guns overlapping would be most helpful.

    The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

    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.

    I had a SIG pro carry that was the exact same concept. I used to ccw it in Alaska. Sold it years ago. This is less than half the price! I need to get one!
