I don't really notice and recoil difference between my 5 inch guns and my Colt Combat Commander. It might be a little more snappy, because of it's shorter slide cycle but its not enough to really notice.
The Commander is easier to carry and a little lighter.
Accuracy? I dunno....the longer sight radius on the 5 inch gun is best for targets on the range, but in a defensive situation....I doubt you will notice.
If it is for carry most of the time...go Commander....if its going to the range or staying home...go with a 5 inch gun.
Also, on the whole...I have had less feeding troubles from 5" guns than the smaller ones. The smaller 1911s have gotten better, but the 5 inch guns are still the most reliable.
