Colt XSE full size, Ruger Commander, and Kimber Ultra Carry.

My $.02   there is not that big of a diffrence between commander length(4.25") and full size(5")    for concealed carry  it can make a small diffrence, depening on your body and how you carry.

I used to feel the same, but it amazes me how much difference there is in the Commander length guns and the full size guns when you actually pick them up and hold them, not to mention shoot them.

My personal opinion is that the Commander looks and feels more balanced than the Gov't or Officer's.

I, too, prefer the balance of a commander.  I also found that the government muzzle would touch down before me when sitting and drive the the butt into my ribs when I CCW IWB.
