Standard VS Commander

What does the length of the slide have to do with the size of one's hands ?

Nothing at all...

I would take a 1911 over any Beretta ever made. - dan

I have NEVER had a Beretta fail on me. Don't ask me about how many 1911's I have had that failed.
The only upside is I can clear a 1911 failure very quickly.

Good for you. My experience differs. - dan

Sorry to cause confusion .......my remark was in regards to this statement earlier in the thread.

the gun balancing in your hands bettter , well that is rellative you how strong you are and how bik your hands are ... a " good sized " guy that works with his hands more often than not won't tell the difference ...

There is a big difference as to how the two pistols feel and point, handsize has little or nothing to do with it......IMO

I am a mechanic and have always worked with my hands. I have shot a few handguns and limpwristing is the opposite of my issue. I tend to have a bit to tense a grip if anything. That is why I have a 1911 in .22lr on order. I need to relax a bit to become more consistent.

You and me both........

Here's a quote from an article that sums up my thoughts on the Commanders much better then I can.......

The Combat Commander is a beautifully balanced pistol. It rests in your hand well and points naturally. It lacks the muzzle-heavy feel of the Government Model and does not suffer from the muzzle flip of the shorter, super compact pistols. I find that I get on target quicker with the Commander-length gun than I do with Government Models, but the sight radius is still long enough to get good accuracy at longer distances. The full length grips of the Commander give you a better hold on the pistol than the shorter Officers' sized grips. I'm one of those who find the Commander configuration to be the optimum 1911 for shooting. It feels good, looks good and shoots well. I doubt that the Combat Commander and clones will ever become wildly popular for concealed carry. At only .75” shorter than the Government Model, it’s still a fairly large and heavy gun by today’s standards. Yet, for looks, good shooting, and quality, it’s a contender for “the best gun Colt ever built.”

My beretta had large thick pachmyr grips and I loved the feel of them. I was more relaxed because I felt I had it sitting properly in my hand. My browning hi power always felt small and awkward. I think with a proper set of grips and practice the commander will be my 100% backup for the zombiepocalypse.
