what suggestions do you have?

The Commander guns have the same grip diameter (shorter length) as the other sized 1911's. Unless weight is an issue, longer barreled guns are usually easier to shoot well for accuracy. The longer barreled 1911's are slightly more reliable out of the box as well.

I couldnt agree more.


I would save a few more $$$ to get a Springfield armory .45 (not the 3" 1911, their reliability is hit or miss). Springfield has an outstanding warenty that has been a life saver for me.

Or you could try a Glock 38. The Glock 38 in chambered for the .45GAP not .45ACP, but ballistically identical. The .45GAP cartrage was disigned for peoplw with smaller hands. The Glock trigger looks like a double action, but is more of a two stage pull.
