Alright I have been in the market for a SR 1911. It's time to buy and I have a question for those of you that may have been able to actually touch and feel both models. I can only find the Commander models around my house. No one seems to carry the 4.25 model. I won't carry piece full time etc. how much does the .75" make in the handling of the gun? I don't do a ton of target shooting either. But curious as to how much of a difference it makes there as well? For comparison my normal carry is a LCP or a snub .38. So either ways have to get used to the size difference. Let me hear some comparisons and thoughts please. Thanks,

Call Fourth Armory in Marietta. I'm pretty sure they had the 4.25 when I was there Saturday for $639-ish.
I've had both. If you are going to carry it i'd get the commander size. Its a decent difference in size and weight. And yes i carried both in the same holster setup. Hell if you can just buy both lol
Wait isnt the commander size the 4.25 not the FULL size right?
Yes, you are correct. I think the OP meant to say all he can find is the full size?
10-4. That is what i was thinking, thought he that's what he meant anyways.
No worries. I can't speak specifically to the Rugers as I've only shot the full size but I imagine it would be just like the differences between most brands' full size offering versus their commander. The commander sized 1911s are still a good sized pistol and handle great.
It comes down to personal preference. Personally, carrying a full size 1911 in the summer time is not comfortable at all so I would go commander if I had to choose between one.
Good luck!
This! That commander size will do the trick
