It can be a balance of things...a balance between comfort and practicality....maybe even some preference thrown in there. My normal carry is a Commander sized 1911 in 45ACP. However, having recently obtained a Ruger 9e, it may replace the 1911 as my main carry gun even though it is basically the same size. It holds more rounds (17 rounds in 9mm), and it weighs less. When I get a decent holster for it I'll explore that. I'm also eyeballing the Ruger SR45 which is a 45ACP. It's basically a "full size" but it weighs less that a Gov't 1911.
But THERE'S also the route of a lighter Commander.....lots of options...what feels right to me may not feel right to another.
