Anyone have an idea as to the average age of the members here?

I get the idea that the avg age will be well under 40.

I have also noticed the younger the shooter, the more prone to owning a black plastic gun. The older the shooter, the more prone to owning a more conservative traditional gun.

Since I am 65, most of my guns are the traditional designs of old. While owning a few of the standard ugly black guns, I am not one to be on a range shooting some tactical weapon simply for impressions. I was at a range yesterday and noticed what those there (about 15 people) were shooting. The young were shooting Glocks, the older were shooting stainless steel or blued revolvers with a couple exceptions.

Some of the young lawyers I work with do not know the quality features of the older shotguns like the Browning Auto 5 that was made in Belgium and in fact, never heard of them. However they know all about the new scatterguns out there that cost as much as a late model used car.

Do you think age has an effect on the type gun a person buys?
