If, by "target competition" you mean bullseye style shooting where absolute precision is the goal, then the Commander is not a good choice. If you already had the gun, I'd say go ahead and shoot it, but you'd be better off with a full-sized gun. The extra sight radius and weight will make the gun easier to shoot well. For "practical" style competition, the shorter length and lighter weight of the Commander can speed-up draws and target transitions compared to a full-sized gun, but almost everyone shoots the biggest gun that's legal, so I'd recommend a full-sized 1911 for that, too.
