 Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in today. We're looking at a new Rock Island armory rock ultra CCO in 45 ACP the CCO stands for concealed carry officer And what that means is that it's an officer model meaning it has a shorter grip While staying with a commander sized barrel four and a quarter inch barrel So you're getting the benefit of a commander size 1911 with a shorter grip which is known as the officer model now You may have seen these out in 9 millimeter. They've been around for a while But the 45 ACP model is rather new late 2018. This was released and the MSRP is 760 however, I'm seeing them on gunbroker right around 585 in that area and if you are familiar with Rock Island 1911's you'll know that that's a pretty good price and this is a little unique because it's a little shorter And it also has an aluminum frame which cuts down on some of the weight. It does have a seven round 45 ACP magazine and the one thing that I particularly enjoy it doesn't have a skeletonized trigger and Hammer, but that trigger pull that the website says measures between Four to six pounds. I am consistently measuring that at four and a half pounds and right there that short Reset very light four and a half pound trigger just keeps you on target and in my opinion is the greatest benefit of Owning in 1911 and shooting in 1911 many people will say, you know You're gonna get your most accurate shooting with a 1911 because of that right there that single action trigger and The overall operation of a 1911 is Outstanding extended beaver tail All right, of course the grip safety there already talked about the skeletonized hammer does have LPA adjustable rear sights All right, you can see the adjustments there and there Pretty nice deep cut serrations and a fiber optic front sight already mentioned four to quarter inch barrel parkerized Finish there very common with Rock Island 1911 and there is the logo and Very sharp-looking G10 grips The front straps a little unique it has indentations in there Opposed to the the heavy stippling that the back strap has and of course we have a flat main spring housing right there nice looking gun full length guide rod and a Bullbarrow that's bushing list so the disassembles a little different no big deal very common with commander size 1911's but for those who enjoy carrying a 1911 This would make an ideal choice because it's an officer size grip with aluminum frame And it's a Rock Island Which I find now let's go right to Pounds and ounces I like to start out there. Here is the unloaded weight Looking at 1 pound 15 and a quarter ounces. We move that to just ounces 31 and a quarter. All right, but I'm gonna load it up with Let's see how about eight rounds will do eight rounds, of course I usually when I when I do these I typically Load up just the magazine and not one in the chamber and some people say hey, you know what I Carry a round in the chamber as do I I mean I tell people all the time and People have their opinions about that, but then what happens is they say well, it's just it's safer for me But if you really study the issue You'll see that Man that that split second it takes the chamber that round really makes a difference So with with seven rounds 36 and 5 8 ounces carrying one in the chamber We're looking at 37 and a quarter ounces. So there it is. I mean it it's under 40 ounces Buy a couple does have seven rounds Big ol 45 ACP you gotta love it and that's that is the original 1911 you've seen a lot in 1911 It's in 9 millimeter and some in 40 Smith and Wesson and I think it's fine even in 22 Those have been around forever 45 is the original commander size Officer CCO nice setup nice trigger Parkerized finish and I think it offers a lot for a gun that is selling for under $600 I'm gonna get this to the range. I'm gonna show you guys what it can do I love taking 1911s to the range. They are just so accurate and I've had great luck with Rock Island Armory 1911s I expect the same with this if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
