What was your first Handgun?

[Toole]

My first gun was a Jimenez Arms 9mm that I couldn't get more than 2-3 shots off without a FTL or FTE, that lasted 2 days, then I got the Taurus PT 24/7 PRO .40, then traded that in on the G23 a few weeks later.

It was either the FIE Titan (Tanfoglio .25) or the Helwan Brigadier (Beretta 951 licensed copy,) I really can't recall now. Eighteen years ago. The little Tanfoglio is still around (great little gun if you have a use for a .25) but the Helwan is long gone... and that's okay.

Mine was a Norinco 213-A, hi-cap 9mm. Great shooting gun, just never did fully trust it. Recently used it for trade fodder.

So when are you trading the HK for the Glock?

Not going to happen, sorry Mike.

 

[Hiram2005]

First given to me by my Dad, Colt Woodsman. First handgun I ever bought myself, a spanish Ruby 32 automatic. What i consider the first REAL handgun I bought myself was a S+W M-18.

My first handgun was a Russian Makarov .380 Auto. Fun handgun, have not even shot 50 rounds through it and have owned it for 15 yrs.

I bought a Sigma .40 and the 9mm. Carried the .40 though. I put 500 to 600 rounds through both and couldnt hit the targets with more than 6/10.

Traded both in for my current G23. Right after paying for it, I went to the range and hit 10/10.
