I expect you get asked a lot.

I would agree that the 1911 platform is best reserved to those who have had a lot of experience. It is my choice, but I've got 40 + years with the 1911. And i do shoot alot!
What carry gun for people that don't shoot a lot? My suggestions would include a Glock 19, The M&P Ezy, and possibly the new SCCY DVG-1 with factory Red Dot. I include the SCCY because it is $299 with iron sights and $399 with red dot. vs. about $600 for a  in today's market. Taurus also has the new (I think G4) I had a G2 and it was reliable and carryable (is that a word?)
Just my 2 cents...
