First handgun

My first handgun (other than a little pellet pistol) was a Beretta Model 950B .22 short Minx. It belonged to my father, and when he passed away, my mother asked me what of his I wanted. It was the first thing I asked for.

Mine was a XD9

Mine too. I bought it two weeks ago and haven't had a chance to go shoot it yet.

It's making me crazy.

 

[FireBirdDS]

Springfield XD-45 compact, still my regular carry

 

[Beowulf]

S&W Model 66-1 4" .357 stainless. Sadly it was stolen, but I have since replaced it with a first model 66 4".

 

[BEBOATS]

Colt Challenger, bought it back in the mid 1950's. My mother owned a resturant and paid me $5 a week to do some mopping up and that is how I paid for it. Doubt if I did a very job with the mop but she complained to me about anything ever. I dont think I ever did anything wrong in her eyes.
What a wonderful blessing mothers are.

 

[Mwiseman6]

Taurus p99 Stainless, purchased in 1995. I know it's not gaining any value and I should upgrade it, but I just can't bring myself to let it go. It's been in my night stand for so long I think I'd miss it. And I still think it's pretty...

1979 - Iver Johnson Pony .380/ traded it for Ruger Speed Six 2 3/4.

 

[sellersdw]

Taurus snub nose 44 special. It kicked like a mule and made a lot of noise but I couldn't hit a thing with it. Later learned the gun was only a small part of the accuracy issue.

 

[kawtech87]

Ruger Single-Six.

My dad got it for my (8th?) birthday. I still have it, It is one of only a few guns that will never leave my hands unless Im dead.

Rossi 720 .44 Special

 

[Matt52]

Well I was looking for something easy to shoot so I bought a TC Encore in 25-06 lol. I bought it for hunting Ive killed one deer with it so far and it doesnt recoil as bad as you would think but it does slap the palm a little.

 

[Goober135]

Springfield GI 1911. Bought it the day I turned 21 and still have it.

 

[nimrodder]

Mine was a Springfield 1911 .45acp.
