I have had and carried the Commander for over 25 years. I dont know that the full size would be any harder to carry or draw. For me it was the look of the gun that sold me. I had wanted a 1911 since I saw my grandfathers at a young age. To me, the shorter barrel made the gun look more balanced. I have shot both and found no real difference. When I saw the "Bright Nickel" I had to have it. Also makes it easy to clean.
