3/4" does not make that much of a difference for me.
But, when I do get another 1911, it'll be a lightweight alloy-style Commander.
For me, the rounded hammer along with an extended beavertail prevents hammer bite (unlike the standard hammer).
My 1991 Govt had the traditional hammer and beavertail.
It got switched out to a Wilson skeletonized hammer and high ride beavertail shortly after purchase.
The original hammer did not hinder drawing from a hip or IWB holster.
Not sure how it would because if you carry it correctly (cocked and locked), the hammer isn't sticking up to snag on clothing.
I'll never buy another 1911 unless it has the extended beavertail and round hammer.
