Back in the day when revolvers ruled, I ordered a Ruger Single Six with a 6 1/2" barrel.
It came with a 9 1/2". Total disappointment, but didn't send it back, 'cause I really wanted a handgun, no matter what.
 
Mine was a Colt 1911 GM .45 ACP back in the early 70's because I always wanted one as a kid.
I quickly learned that shooting it wasn't as easy as I thought, so I bought a High Standard Supermatic Citation .22
 
HK USP 45, then P30L in 9mm. Looking to get a Glock 17 and Sig P226.... I might have a bit of a problem...
 
Although the Buckmark (see post #23) was the first handgun that I had in my hand (at the range) the first handgun that I bought was an Uberti 1851 Navy here is a pic the Uberti is the third from the left.;

 
No option for both? Got a TT-33 and an enfield 38 S&W bought on different dates but arrived the same day! I'll post a pic or two when iget the chance. Got an astra 357 mag on the way and I plan on getting a dominion .45 ACP 1911 before the winter is over.
 
My first was a 1943 tt33 that I got from a member here last spring. Last month bought 4 more restricteds all Norcs actually. M93, T54, NP-58 and a CQA(seemed like a fair price). Seems I've caught the restricted bug of late but I'll be holding off on any more purchases I think, until marstar gets the NP-30 hicap 1911s back in stock. Inspired by the 460 Rowland thread to make me a new bush gun!
