Your first!

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.

Was it a 55A? I have one!

My first was a MKIII 22/45 still have it.

CZ75B 9mm, polycoat black + a Kadet .22 conversion. Both are great

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.

Mine was a four inch S&W 625 45 acp Model of 1989. Which I still have.

A Ruger Blackhawk in 41 Mag. I bought it in 1972 and still shoot it today!

Mine was a Glock 17 that I bought back in 1995 not long after I escaped from New Jersey to the "Free State". It's crazy that Md has become New Jersey. Guess I'll have to move further south if I want to have freedom again.

My 1st handgun was a 1921 Colt 1911. Had it for 5 years will never get rid of it. First gun I ever bought is a Ruger P89. Had it for 2 years now. Don't plan on getting rid of that lil tank either.

 

[lilgibby]

some interesting firsts for sure.

Glock 19, 3 days ago, I might win a lack of length award.... Not that I would ever want to

You might just be the smallest link at the sausage fest! Congratulations!

5-shot stainless steel .38 Special Charter Arms Undercover(?) that I bought secondhand in college. Very glad to be rid of it!

 

[Jimbob2.0]

Yup, Bulgy Makarov looks as clean as the day I got it (probably because I have only shoot about 200rds through it, neat gun but not a fun shooter).

 

[Docster]

My first handgun, the Ruger GP 100; bought it 2 years ago. After reading this thread, I'll never sell it! But since then have obtained 2 more modern and 6 C & R handguns and 1 rifle.........

 

[Marylandfisherman]

High Standard Double 9 that I foolishly let slip through my fingers at the Rockville Trading Post in the late '80's...

The day I turned 21 I got a USP 9mm. It was hard to wait the 7 days to pick it up!

My first was a MKIII 22/45 still have it.

Damn if I know. I had to buy a used handgun since I was under 21 and the GCA of '68 put a minimum age limit on purchases from a FFL.

Post a picture. I might recognize it.

55A?
was that the one they called the sidewinder? I had one of those.

 

[sinzitu]

The first handgun I purchased was a Ruger P85. I bought it in the mid to late 80's. Yes I still have it. I don't get rid of many guns.

Same here. A stainless model.

Mine was one of the first Dan wesson 8" revolvers. What a piece of shit it went back to the factory twice than I sold it . It has been the only gun I have sold.

 

[05dodgedaytona]

My first handgun was a Springfield XD9. I sold it after only having it for a year.
