So what's the first handgun you ever owned?

[wayupnorth]

Ruger P-89 in 9mm
the pick here is from this winter when i replaced the stock grips for a new set of Hogue grips.
picked it up way back in 1994.
was the only gun i could find back then that was in my price range and had ambidextrous controls (mag release, safety).
and thus started continued the love affair with Ruger.

also picked up a Herbert Schmidt 22 single action revolver for $70 at the same time.
both are still in the gun cabinet.

1918 DWM Luger. Battlefield pick-up and looks it.

Bought it 50 years ago and I still have it.

In all that time, it has hurt nobody..... so the ^%$&ing Gummint PROHIBBED it!

And we have a Department of "Justice" in this country? Truly, I am amazed.

Mine was a FNP 45 USG... liked it a lot! But had it for a couple of month then bye bye!

As soon as the transfer goes through and the Mailman does his thing, mine will be a new S&W M&P 9 range kit from Al Flaherty's. Can't wait!

[Trevor Fletcher]

[lycan]

Cz 85

 

[LordEvilPepper]

Ukrainian Tolkerov TT33

I still have it. I Won't sell it, I'll shoot it till it dies.
I love it.. Maybe some pistols look nicer, some shooter better groups, lots do both. But my TT33 hits gongs at 200m (3 for 10 anyways); that 7.62x25 round is a lightning fast hole punching demon cartridge.
