What's this about a 1911 being "not good for a first gun"? I must have really screwed up because the first handgun I bought and shot was a 1911. I found it easy to learn to shoot and to maintain. Heck, it's even fun to clean. So I have five 1911s now.
I figured any gun that was designed for some green-horn city boy who never even saw a semi-auto pistol before take it to fight in a war couldn't be all that difficult for me to learn.
What I learned from my 1911 has helped me better appreciate the design, operation and maintenance of my other guns like my Sig Sauer, Glock and others.
Well, that may just be my experience for what it's worth
