"Combat commander" vs full size 1911

[Mr. 16 gauge]

O.k., just for the sake of argument.....

I've always liked the "look" of the Colt combat commander series (not really sure why), but does 3/4" of barrel length really make that big a difference, and if you carry "cocked and locked", does a round hammer really make a difference than one that is spurred? Heard it was so that the 'round' hammer didn't catch on clothing, but if it's already at full cock.......

I'd be interested in hearing opinions from everyone, but especially those who have carried both....

Thanks in advance.............
