What was your first Handgun?

[suds]

Kahr P9. Knew that I wanted a compact carry gun and a full size range gun and found a deal on the Kahr that suited me. Looking to add a Glock 22 as my 2nd gun.

 

[hot rod al]

.45 Star PD. Still have it.

 

[Thunder219]

glock 22 and i don't think i could ever get rid of it

 

[MrFive]

Glock 23... was never really happy with it. Bought a XD40, sold the 23 for a XD9 subcompact.

Moved on to Glocks these days

[DissonantEscapist]

Springfield Armory Parkerized Loaded 1911. Didn't even have my LTCH yet, so I had to wait a month to take it to the range. Still have it, and hope never to have to sell it. Liked it so well, I got a shorter and lighter Springfield for carry.

First that I bought myself: Ruger KP345PR - It's a beaut!

Also I've have a .38 Harrington & Richardson or maybe it's a Richardson and Harrington break open revolver that was my grandpas, never fired it - Patents are late 1800s.

First pistol shot was a Beretta (.380 I think, but maybe a 9mm - haven't seen it in years) when I was around 5, nearly bounced it off my forehead but ol dad was there (and proabably just waiting for a good laugh).

Heckler & Koch USP LEM full size 9mm.
Still own it to this day and always will.

A Colt Python in 1976, I paid a whoppin' $100.00 fot it. I had just got married and spent the grocery money on it. I've still got it and my wife.

Not embarassed to admit it.

Raven .25 While working a second job as bar security to pay off maxxed out credit card, It was all that I could afford ($35 NIB) . It was comforting to have in my back pocket while walking out to the car in the wee hours of the a.m. after dealing with drunks and fools all night. I even found a guy to reload ammo for it since i couldn't afford factory ammo to practice with it. (This was before Blazer ammo.) Has shot everytime. Still use it for deep carry backup.

My first was a Star Firestar M40 in .40S&W, I bought it used, cheap.
