Norinco 1911 Sport Model followed quickly by a Beretta M9
Bought a Broomhandle Mauser C96 about 1954-55, full wood holster/stock. We could buy Kynoch 7.63 ammo locally. If memory serves the ammo came in a box of 20 already loaded into 10 round stripper clips. Shot it a lot for 3 or 4 years and then sold it for a 50% profit, which was $75 total.

I got two at the same time, a 1903 Colt 380 pocket gun, and a C96 broomhandle. As for pellet guns, I also aquired a Walther luftpistole model 53, crosman 1400, and a Gecado model 22.
back in the 80s the first handgun i picked up was from John Williams. it was a Astra (sp) in 44mag with a 4 inch barrel, nice little revolver. she kicked like a pissed mule and in hindsight regret selling it.
now i focus on .45acp in glock and 1911's. you can never have too many 1911's

Good for you! Enjoy shooting!
Got my RPAL on Tuesday and just picked up my first pistol, a 1952 TT-33, I can't wait to get to the range and try it out.
