I had some time today, so I put together a list of 1911 pistols with shortened grip frames and barrels of 4.25 inches or less. This does not include double-stack pistols or polymer framed pistols. It includes the EMP which is a “true” 1911-style pistol but it does not list those without swinging barrel links, etc. like the Sig P938. MSRP is from the manufacturer’s website with the base price listed, some with a range for different variations of the same model and some with a + sign to indicate more money for options or enhancements.
Key: CCO = 4.25 in. barrel; Officer = 3.5 in. barrel; Compact = 3 in. barrel
Key: AL = Aluminum alloy frame; ST = Steel frame; SCN = Scandium alloy frame
The text may be hard to read, so I also attached a pdf.
