    First handgun(s)

    Mod 41 S&W and Colt Gold Cup 1911, purchased the first semester that I didn't have to pay college tuition for my son.
    Still have the Mod 41 but foolishly let the Gold Cup go.

    First handgun shot was a Browning 22 pistol. The first handgun I bought was a Colt Trooper 375 6" revolver. Still got it and it is very accurate. With hot hand loads I use to be able to easily hit a silhouette target at a 100 yds. Now I am only good out to 50 yds.

    Pros: Love the gun. Has a great feel in the hand not too bad on the recoil and pretty darn accurate.
    Cons: Trigger sucks (fixable) and Sights are a little weird and take some getting used to (IMO)

    First handgun was a Presentation High Standard Match Competition Target .22 Pistol. I got it through the old NRA purchase program, from the Letterkenny Arsenal. A beautiful chromed piece in a presentation box. Paid $20 as I can recall. Remember those NRA purchase (give away) days?:)

    Glock 19.

    Was supposed to be wifey's but she lost interest. Hated the gun at first. Then got good with it. Now love it.

    Dan Wesson Mod 14 .357 Magnum sold a few years later when I was raising money to buy a $700 Browning Citori (does the Citori price give ya a clue how long ago THAT was? :) )
