Picked up a Springfield SS Mil-Spec .45 ACP yesterday at a LGS, a gift for a fine young man who is being commissioned as an officer in the US. Army in May.
His mother suggested engraved cuff links, but I thought he might be in a serious disadvantage in a fire fight with those.
After looking a lot of them the Springfield looked like the best bet. The dealer cut some slack on the cost when I told him what it was for. Looking for someone to engrave it with his name and the commissioning date now.
