A self defense situation happens so fast, there is little time to take a bead and time to aim. It is reactive. Even in a home, how many people are really going to be shooting more than 20’? Especially in the dark?
So is the difference between 3.6” and 4” really any significance?
I don't know.

Like Klatch said before, a longer barrel isn't intrinsically more accurate. A longer barrel should, with all things equal, create more velocity.
I agree with DPris, too. I bought my first Commander 1911 a few months ago and I really like the shortened sight radius. For me it's faster and easier to line up the sights in comparison to a Government model. But, that is just an opinion. Your opinion might be opposite of mine and that's ok... you can be wrong.
