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

4.25 is the shortest w/ a standard barrel bushing.

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.

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