In 1991 or 1992 I got a Glock 19 with Trijicon sites.....wish I still had her.

Had to go out this year and buy a Gen 4 G22 and I LOVE it. (second handgun)

I had kids what can I say, but I've gotten a new shotgun, built and AR and now the handgun within the last 2 years

 

[LUCKYSTRIKE802]

BERSA THUNDER 380

THE ONLY PISTOL I HAVE AT THIS TIME. WAS JUST LOOKING FOR SOMETHING AS A BEGINNER AND IT FELT RIGHT. NEXT I BELIEVE WILL BE A 1911.

 

[PatriotPride]

Glock 19 for me. Traded it for a PSL-54C and now carry a Glock 23

 

[Atkinsons]

An H&K P7

 

[papakevin]

Ruger Mark I, 22 in mint condition. I still have it. Fun to shoot, a ***** to clean.

 

[Vince49]

G27

I had three revolvers 2 .38's and a 22lr given to me by family and friends over the last forty years but the one I love is my new G27. It is the first one I have purchased and I am sure not the last as I am already looking for a G23. And then.....?

Glock 17 and the collection will continue to growl

 

[UncleMike]

A Nazi proof marked Luger, with a totally rusted bore, in 1967.
It was completely dissembled.
I looked up an "exploded" diagram in Shooters Bible and put it together from that.
It functioned fine but with no rifling left in the barrel you couldn't shoot your own foot with it.
I traded it for a new S&W Mod 28.

In 1968 I bought a new S&W K-22 for the princely sum of $69.95.Loved it!

 

[motoman]

a sauer and sohn single action .357 revolver.

 

[Dockem]

Glock 35. I really like the trigger and it's accuracy. Also got a scope mount for it and put a red dot on it for grins. The nice thing about it is that the 24C slide also fits nicely on the 35 frame.
Very accurate at 25 yards.

Well I guess my first handgun is a handgun merely by technicality. I bought a used Ruger Charger from a gun shop the other day. I know its sort of a useless gun for anything other than just having fun, but what the heck it just looks so darn cool.

Not useless! It's a fine gun for small game hunting and target shooting. I want one.

 

[mandolin3]

Ruger MkI standard .22, bought/reserved it over the phone NIB, turned out to be a Bi-Centennial model (1976)!

 

[gglass]

I've owned rifles and shotguns since I was 7 years old, but I did not purchase my own handgun until I was 24 years old. My first handgun was a Heckler & Koch P9S. It was ultra reliable and very easy to shoot. I sold the gun to a coworker in Cincinnati before moving back to Indiana... I regret that.

 

[GlenD65]

A 6" S&W 686, 6-shot. I got it over 20 years ago and it still shoots like it's new. It looks pretty much like the one in my avatar.

 

[8472]

4'' Colt Diamondback blued

 

[Josh Ward]

Ruger 3-Screw Super Single Six still have it

 

[asquinton]

Sig 228 9mm. It was stolen out of my own house by a "family" member.

I've since graduated to 1911's. My second hand gun was a Les Baer Premier II.
