Regardless of the model, Id say ANY 1911 passed down from a father to their son or daughter
would then become priceless. As a jerk, Id say any Springfield 1911 loaded model or above would be pretty badass.
Im not on the up and up on Kimbers, but anyone a couple models above their basic would be pretty awesome too.

Im trying to buy a 1911 in 9mm from my buddy, it has sentimental value to me otherwise
Id never even consider a 9mm in anything.

I wouldnt dwell on a partic ular model, but definatly get what you can afford and the model that fits your needs or likes the most.
