I could probably come close to figuring out what gun it was actually made for by researching which older pistols were roughly the same size/shape as a modern Glock 43. It may be for an Officers model 1911 or something similarly smaller.

Well done. Tho I doubt there were any Officer's models in Chic's day :-). As I recall there is a list on Wikipedia of all pistols and revolvers along with their introduction date. With Chic I reckon you'd have to stop at the early '60s. The muzzle end is quite rounded inside, one wouldn't expect a square ended auto. Good luck!
