What was your first pistol?

[IXLR8]

AMT Backup .380, all stainless steel. I loved the way it felt. Circa 1981

I could hit a soda can at about 8 feet. Everyone starts somewhere

My wife learned how not to grip a pistol by shooting one just like that - with her thumbs crossed across the backstrap - ouch!!

My first was an FIE 22lr SA with the 22 mag cylinder also. Sure wish I'd kept it. It was purchased at Walmart.

Sig 228 was the first real handgun. Nice pistol, long gone by now...

I have a 228, and I don't a circumstance ever happening that would make me sell it. Its a work of art.

Yep - that's one of many I wish I had back. Lesson: Never sell a gun.

Of course, I have one for sale right now. I said it was a lesson, not one I ever learned.

I had one of the very first P-229's and didn't like it at all. Part of the problem was the final realization that I'm just not a DA auto kinda guy. Mea culpa.

My first was a Star .380 single action and I should have kept it.

Glock 22 Gen 3. Still got her. I love that gun

M1895 Nagant revolver circa 1937. It's the first gun I reloaded for too.

My dad bought me a Ruger Redhawlk, 5 ½-inch barrel, chambered in .357 magnum, 6 round capacity. I think I was about 16 or 17 years of age. It was a good thing that guns was so heavy... You couldn't tell you were shooting magnums.
