yeah, yeah, haNDgun.....yada, yada....

Mine was a Ruger Mark II.
It was my 10th Birthday Present.

I was given a Bersa 383 DA when I was 17, my first carry gun.

regrettably, I have neither in my collection anymore.

I traded them before I decided to NEVER get rid of a gun I already own....

First: Titan .25, traded it for a Ruger Mark II, traded that for a Ruger Blackhawk .357. The Blackhawk I still own.
 
First was an Erma KGP-68 in .380. Looked like a German Luger. Had it for over 20 years and traded it in for a Taurus M-85CH. I was surprised that the dealer even took it since there were cracks in the slide.
 
Ruger Single Six .22, was my first handgun when I was a teeniebopper, my first centerfire handgun was a TZ-75 9mm. Had that for a long time... had to sell it to buy my wife's wedding ring... I still have the Wife.
 
An Arminius .22lr revolver at age 8. In retrospect, a piece of pot-metal crap. However, it dispatched many rabbit and water-moccasin before gas cutting and stacked tolerances from component wear rendered it (and my ears) unserviceable.
 
First hangun was a Super Blackhawk. Owned it about 10 years, ran about 30,000 rounds through it and blew it up. Traded Ruger for a new one. Still own the new one 10 years later.
 
first handgun was a 9mm Taurus PT-92....still have it and have shot around 4500-5000 rounds through it with zero problems.....will pass it to my son someday...along with my glock & sig
 
FAL- Super Blackhawk? did you start late or was your father sadistic? My dad let me shoot his .357 Mag with duty ammo ONCE when I was a tot. I dropped it...
 
My first handgun was a S&W Model 15, .38 Spl. I traded it in for a 6" S&W Model 19, .357 Mag. I have had the 19 since 1974!!!
 
Ruger Super Single Six in 22 and 22 mag. Traded it in for Ruger SP101 in 22 LR, I wanted double action. I shoot it every couple months.

Mauser Parabellum, Swiss Pattern in 9mm. It's a copy of the Luger imported by Interarms in the mid '70s. Yes, I still own it.
 
for my 18th birthday my parents bought me a
auto-ordanance 1911, I put alot of rounds through it. I sold it because I needed a better carry gun. I do in the future want to get another 1911. Polomer just doesnt have the same feel

Maby this time in .40!
 
Taurus .357 Mag Model 65. Bought 2 days after turned 21. Still own it, shoot it, and carry it when hunting as a back-up. Good Shooting, MarkCO
 
Colt Python 6" in Ultimate Stainless. My first and always my favorite, even though not my everyday carry. Will never sell it, even though I'm a little pissed at Colt's CEO and his political rhetoric lately.
 
A Ruger Single Six since I was 13 or 14; still have and use it. It is such a fun firearm, playing with it always makes me smile and feel good.
