So what's the first handgun you ever owned?

[zamstony]

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.

Mine was a G21 Gen3. I loved it but hated paying for the ammo. (No time to reload)
Now I have a Beretta 90-two and G17-Gen4 (love of my life)

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.

M9 for me.

Glock 22, gen 3. I like it as it fits my hand , light weight, no external safety level, easy to maintain.

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....

It was so long ago but it was a Smith & Wesson model 19 with a 6 inch barrel.

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!

You should have an option for both. Cause my first pistols, that i bought at the same time were a Glock 17 and a Ruger GP100>

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.
