What was your first Handgun?

[Psode27]

XD 40, green frame, dark slide. Still one of my favorites! As I think is normal with your "first" anything, kinda becomes your baby. Haha

Ruger P94DC

It was a jam-o-matic. I grew wiser and obtained better weapons, and wouldn't recommend a P94 to anybody. I never shoot it and I don't really like it, but I'll keep it forever, since it was my first.

Hi Standard double nine---Chrome--3 In barrell---bought in 1958 as soon as I turned 21 Terre Haute In--Long traded--and sorry I let it go

Ruger GP100 .357 4" stainless.

It's a very comforting thing to have riding on your hip.

It was a High Standard .22 LR. IIRC it was the Sport King model. Bought it in 1968 or 69. Wish I still had it.

Smith & Wesson Model 686

 

[Steelworker]

s&w 669 (stainless 9mm-compact) and I dont really miss it that much. It got replaced with a Glock 19.

Glock 19

I bought a Glock 19 after a short research session. Yes I did intend to buy an efficient self defense pistol , but after showing up to the local range and seeing some other styles of handguns I most certainly want invest in a few others as well. Specifically a 1911. Joshua

The week I turned 18 I applied for my LTCH. As soon as I got it, I went out to get a handgun, not knowing that I had to be 21 to actually buy 1. Strange, I can fight for my country and I can legally carry a handgun, but I can't buy 1. So anyway, I took my stepdad to the gunstore and had him buy it for me. Glock 19, still have it today, will probably never get rid of it, just because she was my first.

Ruger MK II, still got it, still love it.

 

[Martin Draco]

Colt King Cobra 6" stainless. Paid $375 new for it, at Pop Guns, 56th and Georgetown back in '95 I believe. Traded it, a Mini-14 ranch, and an Olympic AR for a new roof 6 years later.

 

[lutes85]

Glock 22 bought about 6 months ago ... the next im thinkin will be a 1911 ?...hmmmmm

 

[alloyguitar]

A hi-point c9. It's cheap, but it's still a good shooter and I'll probably hang onto it, unless someone offers me some insane amount of money for it.

 

[mojo2530]

my first was a 9mm i bought off a friend it was made buy talon i think was the name he said he had shot it quite a bit and no problems etc... long story short first time i shot it KABOOM.the thing blew apart. had the frame and half the slide left never found the rest. found out later they were having problems with the slides cracking so it was most likely cracked when i got it, but i was young and dumb and didnt know better i guess.

Long time reader, first time poster...

I was never really interested in guns, moved to Indiana in 1997 and a friend told me that I "HAD" to get a LTCH, so I applied the next day.

The first gun I had was my fathers G22 service weapon. About 3 years after that I personally bought my first... G23. Been collecting ever since....

Carried everyday since I got my LTCH.... Daily carry G30...

 

[12many]

Ruger .357 security-six with 4" bbl. bought it at Emroe Sporting Goods in Downtown Indianapolis. What great place that was.

 

[Driver]

Glock 19 Just bought it back in November. I plan to get a G26 in the next few months as my second handgun.

 

[sshelton]
