My first one was an H&R Sportsman 999 (.22 LR) and still have it. I upgraded a tad on my second one...a nickel-placed Colt Diamondback .38 spl. Had it until May of this year when it was stolen. Grrrr...

First Handgun

As far as guns I carry or shoot, a Glock 23 was my first if you aren't counting what I was issued in the military. I still have it, looking to trade out for a g26 I think though... If you count guns I've never actually shot or carried my first handgun is a nazi issued luger my grandfather took off of a german officer in WWII.

Kimber Custom CDP II - didn't really get into guns until recently. Eying up a Beretta 92 or M9 hopefully soon!

 

[charley59]

Harrington& Richardson Model 949. Blued, 9 shot 22LR revolver, 5.5" barrel, styled like a single action, but it was double action. Traded it for a Ruger MK II, which i still have.

 

[rcjack86]

SW1911. Still have it. It was used though....

 

[Patriot]

When I turned 21 in 1975, I bought a used Colt 380 semi-auto from the 1940's. I lived in the Chicago suburbs, so I couldn't carry it. I paid $125 for it. I still had it until 2 years ago when I traded it for $200 toward a Glock 17 at the Indy 1500.

 

[darkwang]

Sig P229 stainless slide 40cal.

 

[hoosier_sully]

Beretta 92FS.. I remember watching the ATF bust into the branch davidian compound while cleaning it for the first time.

 

[Pocketman]

I was "oriented" on the S&W model 15 while I was in the Air Force. Been carrying a model 67 (stainless version of 15) on and off for almost 40 years.

 

[Sigblaster]

H&K Model 4 with the .22, .25, and .380 barrels. I bought it when the pawn shops around Fort Campbell were littered with them in the $150 to $175 range. Wish I could find one at that price now.

 

[cowboy23]

[Cannondale]

A G17 Gen 3 which now has a few modifications. It has the capability to shoot more accurately than I am capable of.
