I used to be a big fan of the lw Commander variant of the 1911, and still wouldn't be without a combat commander for matches and hunting big game, but since I looked at the entire situation, and went with a pocket auto, and looked at all the stats for shootout distances, % of attackes not made with guns, etc, I decided that DAO is the way to go, mostly because that's the only type of pocket 9mm being offered, but also because I sometimes switch to left hand use, like when I pick up a hitchhiker. when in the car, the gun is under my thigh, and a guy on your right, in a car, can prevent yu from drawing a gun worn on your right, side, just by "pinning" your arm to your side, with his hand and his body weight leaning on it, leaving his right hand free to gouge your eyes, etc. With left hand use, I can use the right arm to fend him off, while the left hand shoots him full of holes.
