If my swiss cheese memory serves, didn't Detonics use to make an extremely small 1911 clone?
Are they offering some new design here? Lots of outfits make almost compact 1911s these days.

From the article:
The company's guns were popular, even snagging a costarring role on the ankle of Sonny Crockett (actor Don Johnson) in the Miami based TV crime series.

According to these guys (including a 1911 armorer for a large org) the 1911 would not be a good platform for service wide distribution. It has several issues, and more importantly (unlike almost a century ago) there are many better modern designs available. The same message has been said by former Delta Force operators, and explains their shift away from highly specialised 1911s to Glock .40s and even 9mm (not to mention the recent shift by the Marine Corps to let their MARSOC spec ops operatives be able to select Glocks rather than their traditional .45 1911s).
