What Handgun Have You Had The Longest

[natman]

The first gun I ever bought with my own money was an S&W Model 28 Highway Patrolman 357 Magnum in the mid 80s from the late, lamented San Francisco Gun Exchange.

I don't remember.

I started buying around 2001. I don't know which of 3 was first. All within 4 months of each other.

Ruger 22/45 mark II 5.5"target model bull barrel.
Ruger kp97dc
Sistema modelo 1927 (1911), which is unrecognizable today due to my gunsmithing.

Taurus PT92.

Purchased in 1991 after I turned 21, at the time I couldn't afford the Beretta 92, which I bought a couple years later.

Old fart on board!

My first handgun was bought in 1972 and was a Series 70 Colt Gold Cup Match. I still have the receipt (and the pistol) and the price was $211 brand new. Just a slight increase in price since then.
