What brand/model reasonably priced Colt .45 style pistol would you
recommend? Good quality of course. My nephew is starting his research
into them and wants some suggestions.

For what? A Kimber is about as good as it gets, but a Norinco is reliable
to just have around in case you need one and it costs less. If I was doing
competition I'ld probably get a Colt Gold Cup and then have a little work
done. Start with matching a barrel and block and some trigger polishing
then go from there.

A Gold Cup has had all that stuff done to it already.
Unfortunatley..they have been tuned to shoot light, low pressure target
ammo and shooting normal ammo can harm them..beat them up badly.
If you get a Gold Cup..replace all the springs with Wolf combat springs,
first off.
