For your first 1911, I would actually go with RIA for budget minded purchaser. Might be able to convince your dad to buy some surplus .45acp ammo to practice with all the money he saved lol. But I would still go with the RIA because later on you might decide to make it your own with some small customizations and its kinda crazy to me that people would spend the extra money for a SIG, Kimber, etc. just to change all kinds of parts.
