What was your first pistol?

Glock 17 still enjoy it

Ruger 22/45. Still got it too.

I've never handled or shot a 22/45 that felt right. JMO

Colt Series 70 Gold Cup. Bought it new in 1985. Probably should have kept that one.

.22LR single action, so long ago I cannot remember the manufacturer!

 

[Major Kong]

Glock 23.

Don't judge me. I was young and impressionable.

I have since seen the light and only buy real guns now. 1911's, SIG's, etc.

Had a gun collector buddy that said a glock was a rite of passage for all newbie gun owners, so my first gun purchase was a g19 gen 4

I started out with an ugly, clunky Hi Point 9mm. I shot that for a few months and traded it in towards a gen 2.5 Glock 26.

I shit you not: My dad bought me a Hi-Point 9mm for Christmas about 6 years ago. I'd say it was a nice thought, but given the failure rate - had I needed to use it for self-defense - I'd have been killed when it jammed...so it wasn't a good thought....at all.

Needless to say, I sold it and bought a Gen3 Glock 22, which I consider my first as it was the first pistol I ever purchased myself.

Colt Trooper MKIII .357 - bought from a gun shop in Sandhurst in 1975 while I was attending the Royal Military Academy. In England back in those days once you obtained your license (which in my case took 6 weeks) you could legally own something like that. Over the next few months I then spent too much of modest disposable income on ammunition shooting every Wednesday afternoon on one of the Academy ranges with a group of friends. I sold the gun just two years before the Conservative government rushed through the 1996 Handgun ban.
