Your first handgun?

[Magnumite]

I had two 6'' model 28's. Both exhibited stellar accuracy. Only reason I sold them is the 357 doesn't appeal that much anymore and for utilitarian use the medium and medium heavy frames make more sense to me in that clambering. That said, I do regret selling the first 28.

First shot: 1911, boot camp, USMC
First bought: .357, Hy Hunter, SA, Camp Pendleton, Cali.

 

[JVP409]

Interarms Starfire .40. Good little shooter but kind of snappy.

The first handgun I ever bought was a S&W SD9VE. I liked it because it was affordable, went "bang" every time and was (still is) a dependable home defense handgun. My wife's first handgun was a Glock 19. Ironically, I really liked her glock, and she preferred the grip on my SD9VE. Now it's her SD9VE and my Glock 19! :-)

The only down-sides to the SD are the heavy trigger and relatively long reset. My wife prefers that as it's similar to the trigger on her LCP.

First handgun I eve shot. My father's Browning Hi Power. When he passed away last year, my younger brother beat me into it. I hate my brother.



My very first handgun, my Sig 228.

Hey, did you get that in bitone from the factory? Never saw one in bitone.

1st handgun purchased - Beretta M9 Special Edition

 

[Rebelwon]

Yet another Glock 17; liked the durability and easy breakdown/cleaning.

 

[TangaZulu]

S&W M&P9

First shot and practiced years ago with a Bersa 380 which I didn't own. For purchase I looked at Glock 17 but recently chose the S&W M&P 9 fullsize. Maybe it chose me. This gun feels great in my hand, is accurate and isn't bad looking. Very happy with it so far.

First handgun was a Taurus PT99. The Beretta knock-off 9mm. Loved it when I got it, love it now. Thousands of rounds downrange. If I could do it all over I'd get the PT92 with fixed rear sight. The PT99 adjustable rear will break eventually and mine did, I just haven't replaced it.

 

[todbiker]

first shot dad's High Standard Duramatic .22
first bought a Glock 17, Gen2, hit hard times and had to sell it and a police trade-in 4" .357 S&W 686....

Both were extremely reliable and accurate for me, now have a few Glocks and don't intend to sell them.

First gun was a Ruger Security Six, great gun wish I had one with a 6" barrel. My next will be a Ruger LC9s I've already started the process. This will be about my 20th if you count black powder / flintlocks.
C$R is hard on the wallet.
