What was your first handgun?

[indiucky]

This guy right here...Got it at age 17 from Dad for graduation from the High School of Hard Knocks...That little podunk trophy I won with that gun in my first (and Southern Indiana's first as far as I know) Bowling Pin Match in the summer of 1982....Skinny ties, the Talking Heads, and Mullets.......



Smith and Wesson Model 28-2, with a trigger job and a red insert added...Still got it but she wears stag now and is semi-retired...Kind of like me...

My uncle gave me his walther ppks 380 still have it and still carry. I've had a lot of guns but I'll never get rid of it.

A CZ-85 that was given to me by a really good friend. I have since gave it to my brother.

AMT Automag II with the 3.5" barrel. Rather finicky with fte, but .22 magnum at dusk out of that short barrel is a sight to see.

Bought a Lorcin .380, thing was huge for a .380. Thought it was the biggest POS possible.....traded it in for a Jennings arms .25. That gave it a run for its money. I guess the 1st real handgun I bought was a Glock 23. The other 2 didn't constitute handguns on account they really didn't fire.

My first handgun was a G21sf I bought from a LEO off of Armslist. What people must have thought seeing two guys messing with guns in the trunk of a cop car at a truck stop

Sig p229 in .357 sig. Bought that as soon as I was able to get my indiana ltch. I had to have my dad buy it as I was not yet 21.

First handgun I shot was a Ruger .22 one of Dad's friends owned. First handgun I bought, and carried for years, was a S&W Mdl. 29 8.375".

G23. still my best shooter

 

[Hickory]

J C Higgins, 9 shot, 22 caliber revolver. Given to me by an elderly lady.

She was awakened one night while her husband was standing over her threatening her with the gun.
He was in the early stages of dementia. She told me to do whatever I wanted to with it.

Come on man, that was from 2008, nearly 6 years ago.

Mine was a Rexio .38 Special that I bought when I was 18.

 

[Rocketscientist]

No interesting history with mine, but the second I was of age and legal, I went straight to Fetlas in Valparaiso and picked up my early 3rd gen Glock 22.

Man I miss Fetlas... Anyone else remember Fetlas? It was like Christmas morning every time I walked in there...

 

[wesnellans]

Mine was a nicely tuned Smith 4566. Of course, like an idiot, sold it to get something else.

High Standard Camp Gun, .22LR/.22mag 6" DA revolver based on the Sentinel series. Man, I wish I had it back.
