This pistol uses the sought-after CCO layout: a Commander-length 4.25 inch slide paired with an Officer's-length lightweight alloy frame. The configuration delivers a compact footprint with a full Commander top end, purpose-built for carry-friendly dimensions without giving up barrel length.
The factory Cerakote finish provides a uniform, modern coating over the slide, complementing the aluminum alloy frame. The flat, serrated mainspring housing and single-stack magazine well maintain classic 1911 ergonomics in a trimmed, lightweight package.
Sighting is straightforward and durable with fixed dovetailed 3-dot irons: a single-dot front and a low-mount 2-dot rear. Controls are Series 80 correct, including a manual thumb safety, beavertail grip safety, and a firing pin block.
Fire-control parts include a skeletonized 3-hole trigger and a skeletonized ring hammer. The checkered wood grips with finger grooves and Colt medallions provide a secure, traditional feel. Capacity is 7+1 with standard single-stack .45 ACP magazines.
Made in the USA, this model is listed under Colt part number O9840XE. It retains the recognizable 1911 platform features in a compact, carry-weight build, with sights, controls, and finish configured at the factory.
