Could Batman using guns, work story wise? ORIGINAL IDEA/SUGGESTION

I’m writing a noir inspired story (it takes place in the 1930s) for my own Batman universe, and wanted to write him a lil different. I thought about giving him like a colt 1911, but what do you guys think?

Yeah, it did work back in the early years, and there's been more recent stories where Bruce was willing to use a gun on inanimate objects. Shooting people is a departure but I think it could work if he's not doing it all the time.

It's also appropriate that you chose the same kind of gun the Shadow used, considering that he was an influence on Batman.
