What was your first pistol/revolver

Kimber Staintless Target II 1911 in .45acp, I was 18 and didnt care what it was as long as it was a 1911, and at the time this was the only one I could find, Needless to say I had to save a few more bucks
 
First handgun?

I suppose that would be the little Owlhead... 5-shot .32 S&W Short only, Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works, Fitchburg, Massachusetts, USA. It was my Dad's gun, a gift from the town sheriff in Viking, Alberta in the late 1920s. The sheriff had taken it away from a bad guy of some sort, had it in a club bag full of guns from the old days. Late in World War Two, Dad was the Air Force Chief Inspector (Instruments and Avionics) at Aircraft Repair in Edmonton, but even with a job like that, there wasn't one single ounce of rubber available for a newborn kid (me) to teethe on. Dad wrapped the grips of the little Owlhead in green instrument tape and that was my teething ring. No crap, either. It "disappeared" from our luggage while we were moving from Alberta to Manitoba in 1955. Sure wish I had that one!

First one I ever fired was an 1860 Army Colt .44 which our local Anglican priest carried with him in the car wherever he went. I own it now and it still makes smoke and big noises.

First one I ever owned was a Luger, DWM, 1918, that I bought off an RCMP officer while I was still in high school. Still have that one!

Just bought my first handgun today..ruger gp100 6" hope I made a good choice! havnt shot it yet its in the mail
 
When I was 12 I went with my friend to his grandpa's to help pick potatoes and his uncle was there with a whack load of guns. I shot ruger new model super black hawk in 44 mag that day. I was hooked for sure. When I turned 18 I bought my first it was a S&W 686 and a year later I bought the 44 from when I was 12.
 
My first gun was a glock 17 gen 2, bought used. My first NIB pistol was an HK UPS tactical.
I liked it so much I ended up with its big brother the mark 23 and its little brother the compact tactical. I'm happy to say the glock and 3 HK's all went to other gunnutz :)

S&W model 13, 4", in 357 mag. I think that was in 1977. Had to take it to the police station for inspection. The cop looked it over, and actually complimented my purchase. Told me to make sure I kept it "out of sight" while travelling. Back then, cops knew real criminals when they saw them.
 
First Handgun

My first handgun was a Ruger single six which I still have got it for a xmas present in 1961.
About 8 years ago sent it to Ruger and converted,to the new style.
They sent all the original parts back,so I can put it back like the original.
Ruger is agood company to deal with.
Also did this to my p85 (recall) made it to the mk2 style.
