Quote/Question: "Excuse me for this, but are those using 1911s mainly of middle age or younger shooters ..."
As a whole, the 1911 shooters tend to be in fifties and above.
But, there are always exceptions. Back in the 90s' I had a guy (pilot, 20-year air force vet) who was a die-hard .45 guy. Reloaded for 'em, chronoed the difference between different primers, measured groups, saved targets, the whole OCD thing with 1911s.

As an instructor, I see all kinds, but predominantly Glocks and 1911's.
Most instructors do seem to have at least one Glock available. We ran over 40,000 rounds through a 17 before I traded it and got a new 19 a year or so ago.
While quite a few folks carry Kel-Tecs, funny that very few folks opt to test with 'em.
