What Was Your First Handgun?

[Moe123]

The first was a Ruger MkIII Competition Target with a 6.7/8'' barrel. It really got me hooked to the sport. It was about 15 months ago and it must have seen 50k rounds. I still have it and I can't stop buying new toys.

Taurus PT-99AF

 

[Steve David]

First Gen G17 bought new in 1989. Still runs like new.

 

[prproulx]

4046 in 1991. I never fired it. I sold it and bought a Springfield Champion, full size grip, 3.5" barrel and that was the first handgun I owned that I got to shoot.

 

[handgunner]

Pietro Beretta 92FS. It was either that or the King Cobra in 2 3/4" barrel. That would have made me 12.6. But no. I wanted the automatic. No bitterness there.

 

[Lawdog905]

S&W M&P 9mm.

 

[Words Twice]

Sig P220 in 9mm

Smith & Wesson 439.

Bought it in 1993 and flogged it off the next year.

[The Cocker]

Norinco NP-29 9mm 1911, bought it in Feb 2005. I have since upgraded. However I wish I kept it kicking around.

I bought two the same time wayyyyy back when; an FN 1910 in .32 ACP with a 3.5" barrel (got me grandfathered) and a six inch S&W, model 586.

The addiction has gotten worse, believe me!!!

Is this possible?

I knew I was going wrong somewhere through the years!

Mine was a Walther PP in 32 auto, followed by a CZ85, followed by a long, long, long string of pistols, and revolvers.
