The "All Around" thing is tough...Anything full-size gets criticized for not being EDC friendly. Smaller guns aren't as fun on the range.

I'm going to suck up to RickBin and agree with him--alloy frame Commander. I carried one for several years. Only ammo capacity motivated my switch to a plastic 9mm. But if I HAD to go back to carrying a .45, it'd be the Commander again. (But, I'll confess my bias: I love 1911's.)
