Alright guys my padnuh is getting married and all the groomsmen are putting in for a ruger sr1911. My question is which model is the best? I have my eyes on a night watchmen but wanted to get some expert opinions.

There are three different SR1911s:
1. Government size (standard 5" barrel)
2. CMD or Commander size (4.25" barrel)
3. CMD lightweight with an aluminum frame (4.25" barrel)
All 3 are excellent options. Buck-for-buck, I think the SR1911 is the highest value American 1911 on the market. Here's my review of it:
SR1911 - Affordable 1911 Horsepower

2. CMD or Commander size (4.25" barrel)
3. CMD lightweight with an aluminum frame (4.25" barrel)

KR still needs to make an appearance

First, I don't think you can go wrong. Second: does he have other pistols? If not I think one of the commanders would be the best "all around" choice. But that's what I personally have so I'm biased. If it's for target shooting, obviously the full size would be the best.
I also got these grips from Ruger:

If you guys want to get him something a little more "limited edition" than the regular stainless, I can order him a Night Watchman edition.
Very cool gun.

The Night Watchman may have that "limited" effect on it as Carson mentioned. Just a little cooler than the normal one.

Is that their "black oxide" coating? I'm pretty sure it's just like Melonite that the other companies use.

Several things about the Ruger's appearance are off putting to me as a traditionalist, but to each his own.

Black Nitride and the diff grips. Not much utility, just a more exclusive weapon that would appeal to me as a gift more than the standard would. It's a TALO Buying Group exclusive item.
I'd suggest the navy seal edition, but they're allocated at almost every distributor and impossible to find

i guess that would be a relic once colt inevitably goes under from the constant bankruptcy scares

Series 70, proper bushing, no rail, no front slide serrations, how much more traditional to you want?

There is only ONE 1911, sir.

The watchmen is the one I found a great deal on. Looks like I'll pull the trigger on that one. Thanks fellas
