Colt's smallest 1911?

[ArmyCop]

I saw (in an old magazine) a pic of a Colt .45 ACP Officer model 1911. I think it has a 3.5" Barrell.

Anyone have a link to Colt's site - preferable a link to this pistol???

Link to Colt's smallest .45 - if different from above?

Thanks

The colt defender has a 3" barrel

I looked up the Colt Defender - Looks good.

Anyone know it's rep? Good or problems?

Anyone here actually own one - ever shot one?

My defender has been flawless.

I have owned a few Officers ACP's over the years. They have a 3.5" barrel as you stated and also have a shorter grip than the government or commander. They are really nice pistols but Colt quit making them. You should be able to find a good used one if you keep an eye out for them. Also, hello from a fellow Military Policeman, 1979-1999. :)

I t might not be very scientific...but the defender usually has the least amout of complaints that one would read about on the internet...in fact usually owners really like them

I own 2 defenders and I love both of em. My officers model is a great little gun and its the one I carry.:)
