You always remember your first...

[mikefraz]

Not that you sickos. I'm talking about your first handgun. I just picked up my first yesterday from Midwest Gun Exchange on Grape Road in Mishawaka. +1 to them. I realize that their prices are higher than most, but there selection and the atmosphere there is great. I went in knowing what I wanted and they didnt try to talk me out of my purchase and sell me something I didn't want. He automatically got me a new one from the back without me asking. He even threw in a free case for a shotgun(my brother just brought one home Thursday night, so I figured i'd surprise him). All said and done I was out of there in 30 minutes, including the background check and everything. I paid $459.00 for it but also got a $40 case thrown in for free, so I didn't make out too bad. I already cleaned out the factory gunk and got it ready to fire. Now I just gotta find some free time...So I know this thread is worthless without pictures, so here you go!

Nice gun sir. Yep I remember my first handgun. Unfortunately it was stolen out of my office years ago. Never even got to shoot it.

I plan on taking this baby on a boating trip REAL soon. I hope I don't lose it...

Mine really is gone. Got to talk to two nice officers while I was hammered out of my mind at home. Walked out to my office for something and did a double take when I opened up a drawer and realized what was missing. Ruined a perfectly good buzz.

Congratulations on your first! just like any other style of firearm it, will probably 1 of many.

My first: (aside from a ww1 collectible I got when I was 13)

My first was a Smith and Wesson 629 8 3/8" barrel and I could drive tacks with it. Unfortunately I sold it when I had a momentary lapse of reason. It is the only handgun I have ever sold and I kick myself often.

Congrats Mike!

I got my first handgun when my father bought me a Ruger Single Six bi-centennial commemorative in 76' however I bought my first handgun as an adult (a Ruger Police Service Six) in 88'

On a side note, my first rifle was a Marlin 99-M1, centennial commemorative that my father bought for me in 70'

I really wish that I had kept a hold of them, but unfortunately I was short on tuition one semester & sold off all of my "fun stuff" in order to stay in school.

That SR 40 at four and one half was not too bad. Nice gun! My first handgun was a Taurus Model 85 in .38 Special.

 

[piercedjp]

My first handgun was a horrible purchase, so I choose to pretend that my second one was my first, a bulgarian Makarov. Very nice pick for your first, I am sure you will get years of enjoyment out of it.

[ccolip2189]

Mine was a ruger p90 it was an ok gun I did not like the platform but I still miss it

 

[clt46910]

To be honest, it has been so many years ago and so many guns ago, I do not remember my first.

I am sure it was a revolver. Just not sure what one.

[toyotaslave]

CZ-52 was my first handgun. I should have kept that one. Man those things are a blast!

 

[Destro]

[terrythegamer]

At the ripe age of 14, I opened up a christmas present that was small and heavy and from grandpa. Inside was one of his three pre-17 K-22 Outdoorsmans. I still have it, and it still drives tacks. It will either be buried with me or stay in the family. But it is never getting sold.
