What was your first Handgun?

[beez1954]

USMC: see if this works

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.

Sorry- not for sale in my lifetime but my kid probably will sell it for a buck when the time comes:

Actually I tried to upload photo but couldn't get it in the reply... computer illiterate I guess. Will send photos in pm if I can get that to work.

I grew up in a collector's household... so the first pistol I ever fired I think was his P08 Luger. First one I ever owned was far less interesting... one of those cheap little Herbert Schmidt .22 that Dad gave me when I moved out.

First one I ever purchased was the Ballester Molina that's still my favorite for some weird reason.

Maybe it's a handgun's equivalent of the 58 Plymouth in "Christine" and I'm its Arnie.

An awful glock 36. Glad it was acp and not gap, about the only thing I liked about it. Sold it a couple years later for almost what I paid for it so it was a good lesson.

Gee, my first handgun was a Colt, Colt 2000 that is, polymer frame, and looked kinda weird.

S&W 40ve

Taurus PT99AF.

Long since shot the snot out of it, but that gun provided me tens of thousands of rounds of fun in the form of target shooting, IPSC shooting, and general plinking. Not to mention, it made an utterly dependable carry gun. I'd buy one again, but I hate the frigging rails. The new ones won't fit my old holsters.

Bought it in Guam in 1988 as a 21st birthday present for myself. I carried handguns, M-16s, machne guns, shotguns, and/or grenade launchers to work every day, but wasn't allowed to buy my own gun till then. Always seemed strange to me, but whatcha gonna do? That gun served me in the jungles of Guam, frozen forests and tundra of Alaska, and the New Mexico desert, and never had a single malfunction.

It's the gun I was using when I beat the S&W factory shooter (Tom Campbell, I think?) at the IPSC Alaska state championships one year. I competed using my Taurus, and wearing my duty web gear, complete with the military issue Bianchi full flap holster. I don't think he was going full speed when I beat him the first round, because in the second round all the little metal flags were on my side while I was still trying to process hearing the buzzer LMAO! Still, that day was some of the best shooting of my life.

Back in the late 60s-Smith & Wesson M28 Highway Patrolman, had a little holster wear on the barrel, but was a nice shooter.

[whipfinish]

H&K 9mm purchased while in the Army back in 1975. I stored it at my parents home while in college and they sold it believing that I was "out of my army phase" and didn't need to mess with guns anymore. I have new parents now...

 

[koenig clone]

ruger gp100 bought it new for under 350. oh, the good ole days.

 

[ZbornacSVT]

I bought a Hi Point 9mm for plinking while in college out in Montana. Never shot the thing until I took it and my recently purchased H&K P30L out for testing. I think I will probably be selling the Hi Point now.....lol

 

[Max Volume]

Six inch blue Python for $400. Talk about the good ole days! I still have it but it's mostly a safe queen.
