So what's the first handgun you ever owned?

[nexqunyx]

Howdy CGN pistol and revolver connoisseurs! Just wanted to start an open discussion or show-and-tell on the topic of "your first handgun ever owned".

So what's yours? When did you acquire it? Do you still have it?

Please feel free to post pics


Cheers!

I was 18 in 1988 ...ho hum to be young again LOL. I purchased my first pistol at Gagnons in Oshawa...it was a Llama XIB 9mm ( Spanish made 1911 commander copy ). Its long gone and I bid it a fond farewell LOL.

I bought a CZ 75B a little less then a year ago. That was my first handgun purchase. I followed that up quickly with a Springfield 1911 GI.

I haven't really looked back since then... The safe keeps getting more and more crowded.

New NP-28.

Didn't understand the concept of "Double Stack" at the time. Remember being in awe as to how big it was when I received it.

Lasted 6 months, then got traded for a Pre-B CZ75.

I think age is going to be a major factor here.

 

[rabuol]

Ruger SR9

Got it in Fev 2011...sweet to shoot
