Rock Island Armory Rock Ultra CCO .45 ACP 7+1

The Rock Island Armory Rock Ultra CCO is a 1911-style semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP designed to provide a reduced grip profile while retaining controllability and sighting geometry. It pairs a compact officer-style grip with a commander-length slide to suit concealed-carry and duty or range roles.

Built for users who want a compact 1911 configuration, this pistol delivers the single-action operation and ergonomics typical of the platform. The CCO profile shortens the grip for easier concealment while keeping a slide length that supports sight radius and handling for follow-up shots.
