My first handgun is a S&W 686 Classic Hunter from Lever Arms when it was run by Alan Lever himself. It's basically a 686 with an unfluted cylinder and Hogue rubber grips which have been replaced with a Pachmayr Gripper years ago. Still have it, still shoot it regularly and will never sell it.

 

[dingle]

my first handgun...

was a 6" Ruger Security-Six .357, with "Made in the 200th year of American Liberty" stamped on the left side of the frame. Back then, I could take it home in a shoe-box, and store it wherever, loaded or not.

Man, I'm getting old.

 

[highspeedlowdrag]

Springfield Armouries standard (5" barrel, .45 ACP) government model 1911 (I believe it was called the "Defender" model back then). It was back in the late 80's - when Springfield was still wholly making/assembling their pistols in country (in the USA)...
