My first was a stainless Springfield V-10. Extremely loud and fun to shoot especially in low light. Really fun when Hornady was making the Vector ammo. Couldn't get it to group all that well so it was traded off for a Glock 30......that was a keeper.
My first handgun was a blued Smith & Wesson 38 special model 15 Combat Masterpiece with a 4" barrel. I purchased it new in 1975 from money I made on my paper route.
I sold it to a friend when I was in the military. I wish I still had it.
