What was your first Handgun?

[cce1302]

Mom & Pop's came to San Diego for Graduation from bootcamp, after getting all my gear in the car climbed into the back seat found a present it was my Dad's Colt Python 6 '' he said," Since I was a Marine now I needed it more than he did". Still have it .
First one I bought myself is is still my favorite Colt Delta Elite 10mm.

YOu suck. Every time I see my dad, I kick his butt for selling the nickel 6" Python that he had 15 years ago. That was a beautiful gun. Oh well, at least I'm getting his 627-0.

Ruger P95DC. Big, clunky, and a great shooter. Still wish I would have held on to it sometimes.

Mine was purchased for me when I was 12 years old by my grandfather, it is a Sentinal HI-Standard .22 revolver. I still have it, I take it to the range for plinking.

My first pistol was a Italian .22 revolver imported by FIE.
Still got scars from the powder burns.

My first handgun was built for me by a gun smith that my father knew when i was about 10 years old. Actually it was a pair of guns. One was a Double barrel black powder pistol with pearl handles. The other was single barrel black powder with wood grips. Both were comparable in size to a dilinger. I never shot either one because altough they were built by a guy we trusted I was weiry. The first gun i would actually call a carry gun was a little keltec P.32.

Ruger Mark II Government Target Model (6-7/8" bull barrel). Still have it. The trigger was never "bad," but is really smooth after 3,000 - 4,000 rounds!

 

[baglorious]

Beretta 92FS... which I then sold... and then later bought back, once I realized I would regret having sold my first handgun. Don't shoot it all that much, as I prefer many of the others I own, but I'm still very glad to have it.

 

[bob_dolemite]

Sig Sauer P230. It had been my dads and I had coveted it since I was a kid. One year he gave it to me for Christmas.

 

[Truckerman79]

Smith and Wesson 642 .38 special (+p). Bought it yesterday!

 

[IUalum]

Ruger GP-100, should last longer than I do.

 

[paddling_man]

A little over twenty years ago, a Helwan Brigadier. Little Egyptian licensed copies of the Beretta M951 made by Maadi.

Not a bad gun - not a great gun either. Still, I wish it were still with me for the sake of nostalgia.
