    Taurus PT-908.

    It was a single stack 9mm, 8+1, manufactured from 1993 to 1997. The currently manufactured PT-909 looks a lot like it, but is a double stack 17+1.

    The PT-908:

    My first I had to have my Mom buy for me- a Ruger standard barrel .22 bought in 1970 for $59.95
    First 1 I bought for myself was a national match gold cup series 70 purchased in '77 for $259.00.
    Still have the Colt but traded the .22 for a bull barrel model.

    If you ever decide to sell the gold cup LET ME KNOW. That is one heck of a gun. I had one and like an imature idiot sold it. ooch I just hit myself again for selling it. How about a picture of it to really make me feel bad. :D

    Bryco 380, the most unreliable POS I have ever had the displeasure of trying to get to fire. I don't think it ever succeeded in firing more than two rounds, without jamming.

    My first handgun was a JP Sauer & Son model 38. Old german thing, kinda cool with a decocker lever on the side. It would usually fire if you pulled the trigger a couple of times...
    Then I bought a S&W model 29.
    Wish I still had that.

    My first handgun was a Walther P22. It jams every third round with the cheap stuff, but it's eaten over 1500 rounds of Mini-Mags without a hitch.

    Memphis Police issue .40 Swith and Wesson two tone. Don't remember the model for the life of me. I enjoyed it, but pretty snappy. :-)

    One of the first Glock subcompact model 27. It had been featured in the Dope-bag (along with the G26) of the National Rifleman.

    I was young and didn't have allot of money. I worked hard, saved my money, gave plasma and asked for cash from my Grandfather and parents for Christmas that year.

    Great little gun, too bad some have to take from others.

    Love my National Security safe!
