First Handgun, What was yours? Mine was...

[Darthbauer]

berretta 96fs vertec, .40 s&w

That thing was a piece. Im glad I sold it to you.

It was also my first gun.

 

[KI.W.]

My first gun was Colt Huntsman .22LR

 

[putteral]

Mine was a Dan Wesson .357 Magnum

 

[chriske]

My first was a Ruger Mk I .22 LR with a 5.5" bull barrel. Absolutely
reliable, extremely accurate & inexpensive to feed. Lovely gun;
When it finally gave up (several internal pieces just broke) after - oh, possibly 20-25 years- I bought an new one, Mk II this time, and stainless.
Very, very disappointed in this one (especially accuracy-wise).
Or is it that "one never forgets the first time" ?

First that I personally owned was a Heritage .22 revolver. TERRIBLE. I promptly traded for an Astra A-75 which is my primary carry gun.

 

[Shade00]

Walther P-22, love it. So cheap to shoot, and a ton of fun. Still thinking about accessorizing with either a tactical flashlight or a laser.

 

[Eightball]

First one? The old Iver Johnson 55 Cadet .22LR revolver my Grandma gave me (it was her purse gun for a while).

First one I bought? My Smith and Wesson 620.

 

[pyle]

High Standard .22 revolver, double action, and will hold 9 rounds. It has a 4 inch barrel. I inherited it from my Grandfather and I still have it. Nice little revolver but not very acurate.

Ruger Mk1. I still have it and it still shoots wonderfully. My dad bought it for me hen I was about 7-8. We had just moved out to the country around Onion creek near Austin. I couldn't wait to start shooting squirrels and birds. Boy was I disappointed when my dad informed me that if he EVER saw me shoot at something without a solid back stop (such as a bird flying in the air) he would both tan my hide and sell the pistol.

 

[transformerguru]

Brersa Thunder 380. Still have it for my CC.

 

[ubidoob]

My First...

Springfield XD-9.
9mm.
4" barrel.

I've had it for two weeks almost.

 

[Poor East Texan]

A Colt 1911A with a 5 digit serial number (unfortunately arsenal refinished) that I got for $100 from a friend.

Still have it too! (right at 30 years now)

 

[zulu6]

You always remember your first.

My first was a mint Bersa Thunder .380. Blued. Wood grips. Bought it for $100. Four months later I sold it for $150. Should have kept it.

 

[nc76]

S&W 642 Airweight less than a year ago,

since then a Stoeger Cougar 8000 9mm, Mossberg 500 Tactical 12 ga, SA 1911 Loaded Champion

 

[Vic303]

SIG P220 in 9mm.

 

[ZombieHunter]

Bought my first gun a few months ago, picked up a Taurus 99 in 9mm (I think stating the caliber might be redundant). Seems like a solid little gun and I'm pretty happy with it

 

[icebones]

beretta 21a, bought it when i was about 8 (well i gave the money, dad filled out the paperwork)

frekin little thing was a jam-o-matic, but i after a few weeks of jams, i did a little gunsmithing. she ran like a 1911ever sience child prodigy anyone?

 

[JohnnyOrygun]

My first was a Taurus 357, I think it was their copy of the S&W model 66 with a 4" barrel and stainless steel. It was a really nice gun and I shot it quite a bit. Finally I traded it and some cash for my 2nd handgun which I still have, a Colt King Cobra SS with a 4" barrel, that I absolutely love. I don't think I will ever get rid of my King Cobra, it was my first new handgun and it is really smooth... can't say enough good things about my King Cobra.

I was 18 when I got the Taurus, I traded my 10/22 and $100 for it. I bought it from a private party. At the time I didn't think about not being old enough to buy a handgun, the seller didn't ask me and I didn't mention my age. My Dad knew I was buying it, so if their had been a problem he would have completed it for me.

 

[RX-178]

The first handgun I ever personally owned was actually my USP45 Tactical.

The first handgun I ever /fired/ was a Raven MP25. First handgun I ever carried was a blued 4" Taurus .38 spl revolver with wood grips. Both of these handguns are still kept in the house, the MP25 in a locked hardcase along with a Ruger Mk2, and the Taurus in the drawer of the nightstand in my father's room.


I actually already owned the USP when I first carried, but I did not have a holster for it at the time.

 

[madcratebuilder]

My first handgun was a Ruger Super Blackhawk, summer of 72. Still in great shape, I lost the original grips and rear sight, so I'm looking if anyone has these items.
