Your first!

[Marauder]

I was wondering if anyone here still has there first handgun? My first handgun just turned eighteen years old, a S&W 686. Man, I'm getting old. So what did you get and do you still have it.

 

[HardHatMan]

My first handgun was a Ruger P90 stainless, bought it used when I turned 21. I still have it and always will have it. The thing is built like a tank.

I certainly do ... FIE Super Titan .380. Purchased back in the 80's. Still have the original box and instructions etc.

 

[Name Taken]

I wont be winning any length awards here...but yes I do....MP40C....7 years old.

 

[circleshooter]

My first handgun is the Ruger Mark I that my father purchased in 1960 and used on the Army pistol team. Still has a crisp <2 lb. trigger pull and is way more accurate than I am.

Could never part with this one.

I still have my first semi auto (SA 1911) but not my first handgun a S&W 686. Wish I never sold that gun.

 

[mguiterman]

S&W 686-4 - 20 years and I still have and shoot it.

 

[LineofSight]

First acquisition was a Glock 22 (gift from father). XDm 45 was my first purchase. Love them both.

Iver Johnson .22 revolver. Think 5/8ths scale SAA but this gun was SA/DA. It was a piece of garbage, bought only because I needed a handgun quick to satisfy the silly NY pistol permit laws. Once you are approved, you have 30 days to buy a handgun. Not tough sounding now, but as a struggling college kid, it was tough.

Bought it in late 1981/early 1982. Sold it to a Buffalo LEO, legally, when I was leaving town.
