Your first handgun?

[Colonel129]

Glock 17 was the first handgun I ever bought. I like the fact that it's a Glock; it's low maintenance, lightweight, and reliable. The grip angle and the trigger takes a little bit of time to get used to, though.

^This^
I just purchased my first handgun (picked it up Monday)... I also love the 17 round mag.

 

[DEX]

Ruger p95 (9mm) w/ blued steel. Very easy to take apart and clean, just enough weight to let you know that you're holding a gun but fairly low recoil, plus very little in the way of misfeeds w/ the mags (happens sometimes but it's usually after the gun is allowed to get too hot). Still love the gun. It just goes to show that a fairly inexpensive gun can still be reliable and accurate for years.

 

[Gryphon]

Taurus PT92C (a compact 9mm Beretta variant manufactured in Brazil or Argentina?) sweet shooter, never failed, accurate, nice looking. Traded it in on a Sig P228 - the old gun was nice but no regrets!

 

[Ranger Tom]

First shot a S&W .32 SW that my Dad had.
First owned a Ruger Single Six .22/.22mag with a 5" barrel followed rapidly by a GP100 .357 mag.

 

[Pinecone]

First Handgun - Colt Government Model Mark IV Series 70

I sold it to my Father to buy a Colt Gold Cup Mark IV Series 70.

 

[Jack Burton]

Glock 21SF. Still my 'go to' handgun although the safe is getting a little crowded these days. I like that it can discharge 13 rounds of .45 pretty quickly and reliably.

 

[MovingFusion]

My first was a Colt Anaconda, stainless with a 6" barrel. I bought it in 93 and sold it in 96. I really regret parting with it, but at the time I didnt think i would miss it. wrong!

 

[Rimfire]

S&W M&P22 for me. Glock 17 was first handgun fired (picking up a 19 later this week).

Started shooting earlier this year with a rifle (old remington bolt .22, was only really familiar with .22's) and bought the M&P when the SHTF with the HQL crap. Glock will be the final purchase before Oct 1.

So... Well done owe malley, previous owner of 0 guns will now own 3.

 

[ParadigmShift]

First handgun is and M&P Pro 9. I love it. It's accurate and had exchangeable handgrips which allows it to fit well in my hand.

 

[rem87062597]

CZ 75 SP-01. I figured I should get it right the first time.

 

[eventhorizon]

Glock 36

 

[Overboost44]

Taurus 669 6" Stainless .357 Best Friend and I got them the same day almost 30yrs ago. $269 each. What a beast.

 

[hlpdobro]

First shot, don't remember.

First owned, Ruger Single Six. I figured that I would start with the basics. Recommended by a knowledgeable friend.

Still own it.

[spclopr8tr]

Colt Cobra .38 special snubnose. Purchased 1974 and still own. Shot it last week and find it is still a challenge to get tight groups.

Pro: conceilable snub nose with 2 inch barrel, 6 shot cylinder.
Con: 2 inch barrel.

 

[Scratch]

First handgun (sorry to say) was a Llama 9mm 1911 copy.

I corrected the matter soon afterwards with a Steyr GB.

 

[jking22sf]

My first handgun that I purchased myself was a Glock 19

 

[CCPatriot]

FM High Powered 9mm Argentine Military

 

[Vile Shadow]

My first handgun was the Taurus .44 Mag I sold to Speed3.

 

[Yamasung]

Blued Ruger P89DC 9mm. Bought after I moved to Baltimore City using savings bonds given to me as a child. If the purchasers only knew then how those bonds would be protecting me! Was a decent gun, never had any issues at all, but heavy and bulky.

 

[jmcisc]

The first handgun I shot was a S&W Model 41 .22 LR, that belonged to my firearms instructor. I liked it so much I went out and bought one. That was my first, but definitely not my last. To give you an idea how long ago that was I paid $125 for it.
