Personally I do not find the CZ-75b to be similar in fit/feel to the Hi Power, and I do own both. The CZ's trigger reach is much longer even in SA mode compared to the Hi Power, and the Hi Power's grip is much more slender; the CZ to me is even more of a handful than the Beretta 92fs. Just one man's opinion.
 
I'll put in a word for the S&W M&P 9.

The only flaw DH has found with it is that its a bit big to carry in light clothing during hot NC summers. It gets handed around at the range a good bit and with the right choice of backstraps nearly everyone can shoot it.
 
If you're feeling generous, you might consider selling that Mod. 66 and "Pony" up $200 for a nice SS Colt 1911. Sure he'd be shooting more expensive ammo but he'd be shooting something he likes. Heck, you'd have a few bucks left over yourself.

If that idea doesn't float there's always the RIA for around $400. I've not fired one but I have shot a Citadel (its twin cousin) and it was a solid performer.

I stand by my original suggestion of a Beretta 92 or variant for an easy to shoot, reliable, inexpensive to feed and accurate pistol; at least worth a test drive.
