My preference would be a full size all steel gun as well. 1911, CZ57, SW5906, Sig 229 ..but to be fair my 1st ever gun I bought was a polymer S&W M&P .45 that I loved. As I got more into shooting I gradually sold it and gravitated to the all metal guns for range work. But as a 1st gun he really can't go wrong no matter what he buys. He will be happy he has a gun.
