SP101 or Officer Model 1911

[BlindJustice]

Oh, btw

Model 60 3" Bbl = 7 1/2" OverAll Length =O.A.L.
CCO Format - Commander Leng 4 1/4" Bbl./Slide
OAL = 7 7/8"

So an Officers 3.5" bbl. would be 7 1/8" OAL
and a S&W 60 w/2 1/8" Bbl. = 6 5/8" OAL

but in both cases it's 7+1 rds, compared to 5 rds

FWIW - my carry piece is a full size 1911

There, I agree. Short barrels in tilt-barrel actions compromise reliability.

My Colt Officer's ACP is one very very reliable pistol. Feeds HP, flatnose, SWC target loads and RN/Ball like water through a funnel.

I have a very, very short list of firms I trust to execute a 3" mutant 1911-ish sort of thing without compromising reliability.

I would prefer one of the vanishingly small number of shriveled up 1911s I trust over the SP101.

I would prefer the SP101 to any of the other shrunken 1911s.

My dad has a 3" SP101 with a sweet trigger job. It would make an incredible carry gun. Thats what I would go with.
