Just bought my youngest son his first handgun:
A .45 ACP Kimber 1911, the basic model, pretty much like mine, but 15 years newer. I think he'll be pleased.
Photos when we get it to the range, likely next week.
Went with the Kimber for a couple of reasons - excellent performance over 15 years of hard use with mine, and then... That doggone youngster was learning to shoot a handgun. Did pretty good with the .22 Ruger, not so great with the revolvers, but willing to learn, and I handed him my .45 Kimber at the range. He proceeded to shoot 'em all into the X and ten rings! It's like he and the 1911 were made for each other... So, when I got a good deal on a brand new Kimber, like today, I bought it.
