Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Officer's Model or Colt Officer's ACP is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, and recoil-operated handgun based on the John M. Browning-designed M1911. It was introduced in 1985 as a response from Colt to numerous aftermarket companies making smaller versions of the M1911 pistol. In 1985, Colt developed their own in-house version and named it the "Colt Officer's ACP", the following year, they introduced a lighter version with an aluminum frame known as the Lightweight Officer's ACP, which weighed 10 ounces less (24 ounces). The main differences from a full-sized M1911 are 6-round magazines, not 7-round, 7 1/8" overall length, not 8 1/2", 5 1/8" height, not 5 1/2", 34-oz, not 39-oz, and most characteristically, 3 1/2" barrel, not 5".
In 1950, Colt put the Commander into regular production so that ordinary folks like me could buy one. Colt had already set a record within the company by making the Commander their very first 9mm production pistol, and now they had achieved another first: the Commander was the largest gun made at that time with an aluminum frame. The first year’s production also included pistol chambered in .45 ACP and .38 Super. In 1970, Colt introduced a steel-framed version of the Commander and named it the Combat Commander. They then re-christened the original aluminum-framed gun the Lightweight Commander.
The 1911 is generally viewed as one of the finest combat pistols ever designed and the first successful self-loading pistol. The 1911 was designed by American firearms inventor John Browning and is the oldest service pistol in the world; still used in over 25 nations for over 100 years; it has proven itself to be one of the most popular and timeless handguns ever made. The next major design came in 1983 with the Colt Mark IV Series 80. On this model, Colt added a safety feature in the form of a firing pin block system that made it impossible for the weapon to discharge if dropped or thrown on a hard surface. The new Colt Series 80 also incorporated the new barrel bushing of the Series 70, while being more reminiscent of the original M1911 by having a long trigger and flat mainspring housing.
Since the founding in 1986, Chip McCormick Custom has been the manufacturer of the World Famous Chip McCormick Shooting Star 1911 pistol magazines. The goal of Chip McCormick Custom products is to be the preferred source of high quality and innovative practical firearms accessories for shooters of all skill levels. Most people know Michael “Chip” McCormick for his industry-leading 1911 magazines, but few are aware McCormick was responsible for many other innovations that transformed the gun world. An intensely private man, he quietly invented many things we take for granted today. He took the drive that pushed him to two World Speed Championships and focused it on inventing and manufacturing.
Based on our research, the McCormick Colts features parts designed by Chip McCormick that were built by Colt Custom Shop for Lew Horton. Some features include a hard chrome finish, Videki trigger and extended thumb safety, also extended slide stop and McCormick precision made hammer and ear resulting in a crisp trigger. These pistols also feature the McCormick "Shooting Star" extra capacity magazines. McCormicks high-tech components are known for their extreme tolerances, high-grade materials and longevity.
There were 3 variations, with 500 of each variation produced. The variations were the "McCormick Officer" Colt Officers ACP that held the serial prefix "MFS", the "McCormick Commander" Colt Combat Commander that held serial prefix "MFC", and the "McCormick Factory Racer" Colt Government Model that held serial prefix "MFR".
