I would like to touch on the CCO style "Commanders" next. CCO is another 1911 reference the refers to any 1911 that has a "Commander" length barrel and slide paired with a "Officer" size frame. It makes for a more compact lighter weight package while maintaining what I personally refer to as a "combat size barrel length." CCOs are great! They retain all the basic 1911 configurations but have noticeably different "better" features than the full size 1911s. Sadly there is not to many CCO options out there but hopefully more people and manufactures will "see the light!" This Dan Wesson PM-C is slowly starting to work its way to the top as one of my BEST pistols of all time! A "series 70" pistol with all forged steel frame/parts and in 45 acp this pistol would also be considered the "Panzer Tiger Tank" of my 1911 collection.
