What was your first revolver?

An engraved (3-screw) Ruger Single-Six convertible that cost me $110 new at the time. It was engraved by a local talent and, though the engraving was minimal and looked good, it bothered me somehow. So I traded the gun off a few years later.

Wish I hadn't done that; but youth and stupidity go together.
 
Mine was a Rossi 3" 5 shot 38 S&W Special. Bought new for $85.00 in 1968, accurate, reliable, and well made.
 
Still have my first revolver. It's a Dan Wesson 15-3 blued with two six inch target barrels. Purchased it when I was 19 from my boss. $375 used, but considering the circumstances, was a great deal to me.

Italian brass frame repro 1851 Navy Colt in .44. Not even sure of the manufacture.

Shortly after that I bought a Model 19 S&W.
 
Warts & all

A Ruger Police Service Six 4" .357 mag. Ugly, rugged, faithful friend and servant which has saved lives in the hands of its owner and in the hands of others. This is one of those firearms that'll leave my possession only when I am no longer able to prevent it.
 
My first was a Ruger New model single six 22/22 mag convertsble still own it ... still love it. I was twunty years old and it was given to me by my late father inlaw. Rest in peace Butch.
 
This ole thing...

I was 15 and making good money mowin yards in high school... dad said I could pay for my own and I researched a lot... decided on a 4-6 inch 357 mag. We reloaded and it was cheap back then- almost .22 cheap actually. I looked at all of them and between the S&W 27 and the colt... the Colt won... my second was a model 41 smith not long after... A good start I believe .... BTW I still have both... :p

8 1/2" 1970's Ruger Super Blackhawk 44magnum. I traded it to my Uncle years ago. Very accurate still today.
 
Bought my first revolver back in the early 70's. S&W Model 66 w/4" barrel.
Sweet little cannon. Knew some Pa. State Troopers who lusted after it.
