    FREETOWN
    Beretta 96

    My dad took me to the Indy 1500 to get my first handgun. I believe he was expecting me to get something slightly small or more concielable. But, I loved the way it felt in my hand, so he told me I should buy it. Interestingly, that is the same time I learned (at the age of 19) I was legally able to carry a handgun, but not legal to purchase one.

    For my 21st birthday I got a Glock 27. Was not expecting it at all, and it is the best present I have ever received.

    Colt Double Eagle. Started out to get a Ruger P85, which were only a couple hundred bucks at the time. Ended up with the Double Eagle.

    Used it years later for a defensive pistol class, and after I didn't pass the qual test, promptly sold it and changed to a single action 1911. Shouldn't mess with such a tried and true design.
