Dan Wesson CCO .45 ACP Compact 1911 Semi-Automatic Pistol – Discontinued Black Nitride Hybrid
The Dan Wesson CCO blends a lightweight Officer-length alloy frame with a Commander-length slide, creating a carry-sized 1911 that sacrifices nothing in shootability. Finished in Dan Wesson’s durable Duty black nitride and equipped with a match-grade stainless barrel, this discontinued model offers premium features such as tritium night sights, Shadow cocobolo grips, and a bobtail mainspring housing—all in a single-action Series 70 package desired by enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Built on a forged aluminum alloy frame, the CCO weighs less than a steel Commander while retaining the same 4.25-inch sight radius. The frame is finished in black anodizing, complementing the black nitride slide for a uniform, corrosion-resistant exterior.
The match-grade stainless steel barrel and bushing provide tight lock-up and consistent accuracy. Rear cocking serrations and a lowered, flared ejection port support reliable manipulation and ejection.
Carry-oriented features include a bobtail mainspring housing with chain-link texture, single-sided thumb safety, and skeletonized hammer and trigger for a crisp pull. Series 70 internals omit the firing-pin block, maintaining a traditional 1911 trigger feel.
Novak-pattern tritium night sights—Trijicon front and a two-dot tritium rear—deliver clear, low-light sight pictures. Shadow cocobolo grip panels with stippled inserts and DW medallions provide a secure, attractive purchase.
