    Hello, I'm a newbie here. My first handgun was a Mattle Fanner 50 with Greenie stick'em caps. It was a duel holster rig that I cherished. This is a great website!!

    My first was a stainless S&W 629 with a 6 1/2" V-Comp barrel. Turns out it was a really stupid purchase for a first handgun. Even when I bought it in 1998, it was about $0.60-$0.90 per round. I didn't mind the recoil, and enjoyed shooting it, but I couldn't afford to keep it fed and it was pretty ridiculous to carry. I wound up selling it to a friend about a year after I got it.

    It used to fte every fifty rounds or double feed. Slide was looser than my best friends sister. But I still miss the old girl and the 39.lol

    A Springfield Armory G.I. 1911 .45ACP at dare I say 13 years old. My dad thought I should do it right! I shot his Colt Detective Special .38SPL snub nose at 5 years old and have been shooting ever since. Of course my mom sh%%! LOL................. And yes I still have it today after all these years. How could you sell a gun like that? I still remember the day he handed it over to me for good when I was old enough to own it myself. I love you very much dad! I'm a die hard Glock and Sig guy now!!!
