Bought a Ruby .32 on my 18th Birthday in 1979 and put a deposit on an Enfield .38 No 2 MK 1 and an Inglis 9mm browning Hi power at Checkmates and still have em.
 
Ruger MkI. I bought it when I was 20 for $100. Original owner had registered it in the 50's if I remember correctly. He gave me the registration certificate which I still have hidden away somewhere. I haven't shot it in several years but keep it for sentimental reasons. When my kids are old enough that is what they will use.
 
1989 and I bought a Beretta 92F, following the craze of Die Hard and Lethal Weapon fame. Ah to be a young man again. LOL.
 
Ruger Single Six. Prefer to shoot the 22 WMRs. Very satisfying! Haven't taken the centre-fire plunge yet, but the itch is getting harder to ignore....
 
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!

S&W model 13, 357 with 4" bull barrel. Bought in Medicine Hat in 1977. For the life of me, I don't remember my second handgun. Might have been a SW 629, or Springfield 1911.
