1911help

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:

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:

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

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

There is only ONE 1911, sir.
