I'm in the same boat. I helped my mom pick it out for him for Xmas when I was 6 yrs. old. I love that stainless Commander and grew up on it. I keep telling him I'll get him a SIG P220 for a trade, since he just needs a house gun nowadays.
I have two Springfield 1911's. One is blackened stainless and very sweet. They're around $800, but I stole it for $689 delivered on Gunbroker.com. My other is a Mil-Spec, which I REALLy stole on Glocktalk for $275 delivered and then mailed off to Robar for all kinds of mods. I have about $900 into it now and it's a beauty. You can't go wrong with Kimber either. I had a ParaOrdnance P-12, but it just never shot as straight as my SIG's. I'll probably start carrying my customized Mil-Spec. pretty soon. For summer weather I usually carry my SIG P239. I have seen Kimber Custom II's at gun shows for $600 NIB.
