RUGER NEW VAQUERO... 4.62 inches .357 Mag. Stainless. I still have that beauty.


Code: 
If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.
 
Over 25 years ago, a 686 "Classic Hunter", the top one in the pic. The bottom one is a 5", 7 shot 686 I picked up a few years ago. Love the unfluted cylinders......:redface:

In 1987 I bought a '64 Ulm manufactured Walther PP 7.65mm from LeBaron's in Mississauga.
Came with two mags and a holster for something like $200 . Maybe less.

Still have it...
 
S&W .455 revolver (from my dad). I still have it and will not sell that one.

The first one I bought myself was the IWI Jericho (Baby Eagle) 9mm pistol.
 
My first handgun was a 9mm Broomhandle Mauser.
Nice gun but traded it off for a S&W M28 .357 revolver.
I sold the S&W because the N frame guns have grips that are too big for my hands.
 
9mm Hipower

...and 15 yrs (!) later, still have it!

My late father, who'd had enough of firearms after WWII, when I showed it to him, his eyes lit up and he said, "Oooh, that's nice!".

Thanks for bringing back a fond memory for me with this thread!


...and to be able to afford to shoot, my first .22s were (bought at same time, came in same package) a Browning Challenger I and SW Model 17.

It was a Ruger P95 way back when... I was young, it was cheap and easy, we hooked up... sort of like that first awkward date. Well I soon realized the error of my ways , we broke up and I picked up a really nice CZ... European lines, sleek, fully loaded, if ya know what I mean. We have since moved in though... did some sharesies with a Glock, a Baretta, and some old battle horse 1911's even!! And I even latched on to a Steyr for a while, it didn't work out. I've most recently settled on a S&W M&P 9. This might be the match made in heaven!! Functional, reliable, clean and has a great pedigree. Easy on the pocketbook, does everything I ask of it, does it well, with no complaints or hiccups. If it could only bring me a beer!
