Which 1911?

tcritter · February 13, 2013, 10:15 AM

I almost ready to get my first 1911. I'm looking for one will be shot occasionately but mostly sit in the safe. I want one that in 30 years my boys will be happy to own and have a increased value. I'm leaning toward a Colt but dont know which model will hold its value the best. I do like smith and wesson also my budget will be no more then 1500$. Any suggestions.
