I learned to shoot on a S&W model 19 with a 2 inch barrel.

The first gun I owned was (still is) a WWII bring back, 1911 manufactured in 1919.

My first one was a Dan Wesson 15-2. I had two barrels with it, one in 2" and one in 6". I used it to shoot NRA Bullseye and it was amazingly accurate. I won several awards with it. However, I no longer have it.

 

[OFT]

Mine was a High Standard Sentinel nine shot .22 revolver. Neat little starting gun.

 

[blackcash88]

Ruger P89. Traded away because it was too bulky and heavy. Don't miss it one bit.

 

[RustyShackelford]

A Ruger SP-101 DA only model .357magnum

My first revolver was a sweet NIB Ruger SP-101 .357magnum. I had it for about 2 ys then had to sell it.

I think I paid about $330.00USD in 1993.

I almost got a DA only Ruger KP-93 9mmNATO. That was a good choice too but I liked the SP-101 more.

[figment]

colt trooper III 357 revolver. I was so distracted I left my wallet at the store and had to get a new DL etc.

 

[Rugerlvr]

My dad had a S&W model 28-2 (Highway Patrolman) That I used to like to shoot when I was growing up. The first gun I bought myself was a Ruger P89. My cousin needed some money, and I think I gave him $250 for it. I still have it, and for the longest time, it was the only handgun I had, but I don't think I'd buy it again if I was looking for a first gun.

Browning Buckmark--still got it.

[QUICK_DRAW_McGRAW]

im 22 now, got my first hand gun a Hi-Point 9mm when i was 19 at a gun show, still have it and still beat the hell out of it and it just keeps going. gotta admit it was a good $130 i spent on something i can lend to new shooters so i don't care if it breaks or gets dropped.

[moooose102]

mine was a ruger mk II. great little gun. dont remember why i sold it though. probably lack of the biggest evil in the world (money). funny thing about money, when you don't have any, its evil, when you do, its good.
