I have long wondered why when a company makes a "Commander" length sidearm, they normally use a 4 and not a 4.25 inch barrel. I have always thought the true 4.25" Commander length guns handled better. Why does everybody make a 4" gun? This does not seem like a big deal until you do want the original length gun. As far as I know, Colt is the only one producing the 4.25" barrel. I had a Springfield Champion, and just did not like it as much. The only other people I can think of that made a Commander sized gun recently is Norinco, and they did not import many and good luck finding one!
