Lynne,

Your boyfriend is a very lucky man. You cannot go wrong with a Kimber. I cannot vouch for the Taurus 1911 but I have 3 Taurus 24/7 and love the way they shoot. I have a 45 my wife and Dad each have the 9mm. I have had problems with my 24/7 feeding properly in the 45 but I think that it is due to a problem with the magazines. I have not heard of any problems with the single stack 1911 style magazines. You may want to go to Taurusarmed.net and look around that forum for 1911 issues. There are a lot of companies that make 1911 style pistols including Para, Colt, Smith & Wesson, Sig, Springfield, and Taurus. Your best bet is to do a little research on the internet, determine how much you want to spend then narrow your search. The most expensive gun is not necessarily the best. Good luck.
