It is odd (to me anyway) that as popular as the 1911 is, that a lightweight CCO size is not readily available from a variety of manufacturer's. Especially one like ParaOrd, that offers so many "flavors" of 1911.

I don't get it either.
It seems to me that folks automatically think: concealment = short barrel. Those folks want the smallest possible gun and are willing to go with a smaller grip. They don't like the CCO because it has a long slide.
Folks that want a larger gun, also want a larger grip and want the extra round of capacity, so they also don't like the CCO.
I find the CCO to be the best compromise. IMO, the grip is the hardest part to conceal. I even use thin grips on mine. The grip is small on the CCO, but the gun is still very controllable. I think the long barrel helps this. You can also use regular 8 round 1911 mags, they just stick out. I carry one for a reload.
