    My first three were as follows, all new from full retail stores:
    1. A Ruger Security-Six 4-inch barrel stainless steel revolver in .357 Magnum/.38 Special for about $325,
    2. A Dan Wesson Model 15-2 with 6-inch barrel in .357 Magnum/.38 Special for about $275,
    3. A Ruger Model 10-22 for about $100.
    The Security-Six was transferred to my youngest brother in 1997, the others were traded off in 1984 and 1994, respectively. I should have kept the Dan Wesson but replaced the 10-22 with a stainless HB version.

    Dan Wesson 15-2 pistol pack. (Safeway grocery store in 1980)
    Browning BLR in .243 ordered from LGS. Around 1983.
    Browning Citori 12 ga from a guy who leased bird hunting from Dad.

    Revelation Model 350A 20 Gauge single shot- bought at Western Auto in Seguin, circa 1966. Don't remember what I paid, but couldn't have been much more than $25.

    Rohm 63 22 Cal Western style revolver - bought at now defunct Gulf Mart in 1971. That was just North of where Highland Mall is now. IIRC it was around $27.

    Ruger Mark I Target Model, 6 7/8" barrel. 1978 from McBride's in Austin. $87.50

    Still have all 3, but haven't shot the first two in probably 40 years.

    The first three I acquired, as the first two were inherited after my Dad passed...

    A 1954 Colt .357 Magnum (the "high end cousin" of the Trooper)
    A Taurus .38 Special (not sure of year or model, will have to look that up)
    A Springfield XD-45 Service

    Still have all three...
