Colt Officer's ACP

 

ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol. The Colt Officer's ACP is slightly smaller than the full-size 1911 and is chambered in .45 caliber.

Many gun enthusiasts will assert that the shorter barrel makes the Officer's Model (3.5") less accurate than a Government Model (5").

I agree that a shorter barrel equals less accuracy and less velocity because the bullet spends less time in the pressurized barrel. But, one of the most accurate guns out of the box that I owned was an Officer's Model. 

The Colt Officer's Model: Slightly smaller than a Government Model, with the barrel length reduced from 5" to 3.5". This is a great gun for concealed carry.
