Gun Collectors Club - 1991 Colt Officer's .45 ACP
Introduced in 1985, the Colt Officers ACP is slightly smaller than the full-size 1911, with the barrel length reduced from 5" to 3.5". This is a great gun for concealed carry.
Personally, I never liked the way the matte finish on the top of the slide (to prevent sight glare) looked with the Bright Stainless finish. And I absolutely loathed the fake mother of pearl grips.
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.
