  Kimber Pro Carry
Kimber did it with their LA SWAT gun (the Classic II), and, with the approval of the Pro Carry II for issue by the Tacoma police department, the Kimber Pro Carry joined this elite club.
The Pro Carry is grounded in the legacy of the Colt Lightweight Commander.
The Pro Carry HDII and the Pro Carry II have been authorized as duty weapons for the Tacoma, Washington PD. (Officers also have the choice of one of three Glock models.) The choice was based on an evaluation of 37 models of handguns, from several major firearms makers of duty type handguns.

The dual recoil spring system is the key component which permits Kimber to produce a.45 ACP with a three inch barrel.
This system (Kimber uses a Wolff spring system) retards the speed of the velocity of the slide, in order to allow time for the magazine spring to properly position the round to be chambered.
I cannot really differentiate between the recoil from the "Ultra CDP" and the "Pro Carry." I would say that the trigger has a smooth break but I think the preferred terminology seems to be "crisp." Whatever.
