What is smallest 1911 with a barrel bushing?
Does anyone make a 4" barrel (or smaller) 1911 still with a barrel bushing?

4.25 is the shortest w/ a standard barrel bushing.
Carry 24-7 or guess right.

Colt doesn't make the Officer's Model anymore, but you can find them on the used market. They have a 3 1/2" barrel and a bushing. Most knowledgeable OM owners replaced the factory bushing with a solid one. I have one and it's a great gun.

Colt Government .380... ...if that qualifies as a 1911. 
You did say "smallest," not "smallest .45 ACP."

Those of us with style know that when you say 1911, you are specifying .45ACP, not one of those sissified smaller calibers.
