If they are familiar with the 1911, i would start there. Take them to the range, brush the rust off. Try some rentals for perspective. The browning 380-1911 are great. Id stay away from 9mm 1911, i have found them to be fickle things. 10mm or 45 only.

There is no environment that is threat free, just low risk. As long as they are of sound mind, if they want to thats their call.

I suspect a range trip will bring a lot of perspective, and give some comparison of memory vs reality, and cost.
