I bet so. Though, I have several buddies in their 20s and 30s who are huge 1911 fans, as well. They're timeless.

Congratulations, many hours of enjoyment await. I see you have started as I hope you will continue, with a wise choice in the 1911.

Re: Well, I just bought my first handgun....
Welcome to the forum WC. Congrats on your new gun. Don't take too long in getting that gun to the range. And for glocknuts sake get some pics posted asap or he will badger you all the way to your grave and perhaps beyond.

Re: Well, I just bought my first handgun....
Congrats on the gun. I just replaced my old Springfield MilSpec with a nice Parkerized Loaded. The old Springer went to my son.
