What Handgun Have You Owned For The Longest Time

Ruger Old Army, 7.5" stainless steel with adjustable sights. Bought it in... 1983, I think. Didn't buy another gun until AWB94 expired. Been making up for lost time ever since :D
 
S&W Model 19

I purchased it new in 1981. When my daughter purchased her own home and moved out I gave it to her.
She shoots it well and makes her daddy proud!
 
I spoze that since I passed on all the family firearms to my #1 son that I am left with a FIE derringer in 38 spl that I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of. I picked it up cuz it seemed small and handy and I could stuff a couple of snake shot shells in it to carry when I was fishing. Only problem was that the flat topped shells would not seat...

Next in line is a M13 S&W that I carried as a service sidearm. Picked it up around 1975 or so.
 
My first was a ruger 22 bull mk 1 or 2 dont remember but it was stolen 2 years ago. Well last night I get a call from Georgia police saying they traced a firearm back to my mom (who signed for it back in 84 since I was 16) to a high profile armed robbery. I was really surprised. He said it might take awhile but they will contact me and ship it to me. Who knows what it looks like after 2 years of abuse.
 
I still have my first pistol that I bought in 1968. We are growing old together. It looks and works better than I do.

sure are a lot of rugers! mine was a gp100 in stainless witha 4 inch barrel. she's a safe queen now. after 13 years i'll probably keep her.
 
My longest-owned handgun is a Springfield Omega Match 10mm, given to me by my father when I turned 21. I had also bought a gun when I turned 21, but have recently sold it. A Taurus 24/7 Pro .45.
 
The revolver I learned to shoot with, S&W Mod 15 combat Masterpiece. Dad got it in the late 60's. The High Standard Victor 4" I got in 74 is the next.
 
I have bought and sold a lot of guns for "duty" use. I just bought most of my heirloom guns that I will leave to my son(s) and nephews.

Michael gets the Chicago Police special edition Sig 220DAK, if he uses it as a Police Officer I will disown him .

Connor gets the TRP.

Sean gets the 645

Brennen gets the revolver to be named later.

Future offspring TBA

Rest of collection up for grabs :D
 
My brother gave this to me on my 16th birthday I'm 63 now.
