All sissy guns.
Aaaand all assumption that you were being remotely reasonable is gone.
Proverbs 26:11 (NLT)
As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness.
Proverbs 23:9 (NLT)
Don’t waste your breath on fools, for they will despise the wisest advice.
Ah, you were just trolling...thank goodness, I was thinking that there was no way someone could be that stupid.
That’s what I was thinking. Then this jewel came out and realized there’s no further use engaging.
I just really dont enjoy shooting a pistol with a short grip length. I have a G29 that is tolerable with a pinky rest base plate on the mag, but is not my preference. That extends to officer sized 1911/2011 frames.
I understand that a lot of folks like them or they wouldnt be offered in so many different flavors, they just arent my bag. I think the commander 1911 dimensions are just about perfect for my carry preference, but I also carry a government size 1911 once coat weather sets in or if I will be out in the woods. My current carry is a 19X which is really close to the same length ratio slide to frame as a commander 1911 and just a smidge thicker.
Those are just my personal preferences on what works for me. As to putting a price cap on weapons we carry, that is entirely relative. If I was in a place where I could seriously consider snagging a $2500 pistol because I felt it filled a need, then it would spend time in carry rotation. I am not in that place right now, so my most expensive carry piece is one of my Colt or SA 1911s. To each their own, I worry more about someone carrying something they are proficient with than I do what that thing actually is.

I don’t have a problem with people carrying small. Although I don’t. My favorite carry is my Sig 226. I love it because it’s my most accurate and reliable gun. It’s also the oldest gun I have.
I know some pretty darn good instructors that have the philosophy of carrying as "large" as you are comfortable with, and dress around the gun and that's what I follow. That "size" is different for everyone.
My Son in Law is a Doctor and can afford a Staccato to the tune of $4995. which doesn't shoot groups any better than two NM Colts I have from the 70's or better than my recent purchase of a Ruger LW Commander. Great if one can afford a hand built, hand tuned Staccato but as my SIL told me "why not if I can afford one". He likes his and that's great but too much money for me. I really like my LW Ruger and would recommend it to anyone looking for a 1911! A accurate and reliable firearm.
