I recall that Smith and Wesson used to offer a version of the Lady Smith without the "Lady Smith" engraved on it. The model had a "-NE", or something suffix starting with an 'N' indicating no engraving. I cannot seem to find it on their site; maybe they no longer offer it? In any case...

I prefer a snibby with an internal hammer. Nothing to snag, can fire from inside a pocket if necessary. The alloy ones are very light -- pocket or ankle carry is almost not noticeable. That being said, I plan on getting a really small back up 9mm, just to have a choice. :)

If either a Colt or a Kimber fits your grip and style of shooting equally well I'd give the nod to the Colt. I have both and love both, but my Kimber is a Series 1, the later ones I do not care for. Go for the Colt: no MIM parts, no funky Swartz "safety", you can't lose.

It depends :D If there is a firearm that the child can handle reasonably and if the child if trustworthy enough to obey any instructions given then the child is ready. I wait until 7 or 8 and start them with a 22 single action revolver (ruger bearcat). Make certain to have hearing...

Count this as another vote for an older used revolver. A used Ruger Security Six, in .357 will set you back $200-$250. I personally think they are a little ugly, but they work great.

Another vote for the two Kuhnhausen books, they are very detailed about all the inner workings of the 1911, and how to troubleshoot / repair them. http://www.gunbooks.com/

I have the 5 1/2 " stainless Bisley that I bought new in 2002. It is a fun shooter, and especially fun with the cor-bon or other heavy loads. I'd buy it, especially if you haven't at least one single action revolver.

How about the Browning Hi Power? Though some have triggers that need work out of the box. I also don't like the magazine disconnect. So, if you wish a completely stock pistol, you may or may not get what you want in a Hi Power. They can be made into a great pistol with a little 'smithing...

The only guns I notice any torque are the higher powered revolvers. By torque I mean a twisting of the gun around the line of the barrel. The higher velocity 454 Casulls will cause significant rotation of the gun. I am not referring to the upwards flip of the muzzle. Just my observations.

according to 1911 forum .com http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=62993 Current colts have the sear, mag catch, disconector and plunger tube MIM. Not too bad, and you may be off to a cheaper start than buying separate parts. FWIW I've replaced the sear and disconnector...

I alternate between 45 acp and 10mm. The 10mm has a lesser diameter but calling it 'smaller' may be misleading as it packs a punch. The firearms are both full sized all steel autos so no weight or size difference there.
