What was your first Handgun?

[match14]

I bought a Colt Series 80 Commander as my first. In retrospect I think I should have gotten a 9mm or .40 caliber as my first pistol. The first time I took it shooting I was so terrible. Eventually I became decent wit it.

My first is a Beretta 96G. Bought it used from a 1500 a couple of years ago. It was a state trooper's duty weapon before they went to Glocks. It has state trooper insignia all over it and has state trooper grips. It's a great shooter and my favorite out of them all.

First handgun I owned was a nickel plated S&W Model 19 .357 Magnum with 4" barrel.

Walther P22. It's a nice shooter.

Cap and ball revolver

Back in the 70s Monkey Wards sold kits to build your own black powder revolver. The brass frame was rough cast and required a lot of filing, sanding and polishing. The grips were blocks of wood that were pretty much built from scratch. They had a basic grip shape and no more. Beautiful when finished and a real hoot to shoot! (rhyme not intended) Not very accurate though. It was tough to hit a beer can at 25 feet.

Beretta 92. Shortly after watching lethal weapon in 1991. 15 rounds in a handgun, awesome. How times have changed.

Taurus PT945 with rosewood grips

 

[slottech]

S&W Sigma 9mm. Of all the bad things I've heard about it, I like it alot. I've gotten good at hitting where I aim at Self defense distances. Yeah the trigger was long and rough at first, but after several hundred rounds it smoothed out. I also have other Semi-auto's that are single / double action hammer fired. I like those as well.
