I bought my first centerfire handgun 30 years ago. It is a .32 Walther PP. I was told it was a refurbished German police issued weapon. I still carry it on a regular basis. I know, a mouse gun, but I like it.
How about a 1929 Spanish Ruby .32 acp. Strictly a close range, 10 yards or less weapon, but I have put 100 rounds through it a few different times and have found it to be very reliable. No jams, or failures. I carry it sometimes.
I carry my Colt 1903 Hammerless .32acp PM (mfged in 1913 - 145xxx) on occassion. It goes bang every time the trigger is squeezed and is accurate out to 15 - 20 yrds in my hands.
colt 1903 made in '35. carrry when it suits my fancy-mostly spring & fall.shoot a couple of boxes a month...excellant point shooter with amazing penetration.
Not that old, since it is US made, but often as not my carry gun is a PPK. At the moment that is the oldest handgun I have though there are a couple of old S&Ws I wouldn't mind having, like a nice 4" Model 19.
I've got a pair of USGI Colts...1942 and 1943 DOB...that are part of my carry rotation. I don't carry'em as often as I used to...but they still do yeoman service at times.
For several years, up until about 1995, I also carried a 1918 USGI Colt most of the time. It's retired now, and living in a condo somewhere on the French Riveria.
kamerer, I am quite envious of your setup! That rocks hard man!
I've been known to carry a S&W M&P that was made in 1947 and a 1958 Colt Dick Special (since traded.) Being born in the late 70's, I guess I consider these "old."
The oldest design I've ever "carried" was a 1858 Remington cap & ball repro revolver that I kept in my vehicle when I was too young to buy a "real" handgun.
I sometimes still carry a Mauser made P-08 Luger manufactured in 1941. The age of a firearm doesn't really mean anything if its in good condition and well maintained.
I like older guns...my most liked is a 5 screw S&W M-10 which someone converted to a PPC revolver. When PPC was big I was a city PD sergeant making $3.43 an hour and they were so far out of my range that they might have wells have been on the Moon. Now, I have "Thumper" and I am happy. My most carried is an older AMT DAO .45acp which is a daily carry item. It is one of the first ones made and works like a champ. One step up is a Detonics CombatMaster. I have newer guns I like, but some of the "elderly", like me, ones, like my Colt .25acp, work great and carry better and I'll always carry them.
I carry an M1911A1, currently a Kimber Classic, but I used to carry an M1927 Argentine, made in Argentina in the '30s on Colt machinery under Colt supervision.
I will also sometimes stick a Colt Detective Special in my pocket, made around 1960.
My carry gun is old Dan Wesson 357 (High Standard). It is on its second cyl, third barrel, and fourth parkerize job. It goes bang every time EXACTLY where I want it to.
Introducing my antique Webley .38, made by P. Webley & Son, before Webley hooked up with Scott. If it's coat weather, I carry it very occasionally. It's the best natural pointer I've ever experienced. And, it has quality workmanship out the wazoo!
