hey arflattop , never part with that gun brother! my grandmother doesnt remember what happened to grandpa's 1911 that he carried at omaha beach. i think one of his sons hocked it along time ago! its a shame and i cringe at the thought
Given to me by my Grandpa, it was a Colt .44-40. Never had anything but black powder cartridges through it, per his instructions. Still have it, it's the only revolver I own.
I think I remember all of the handguns I've ever owned, but maybe not the order. As far as I can remember, it went HK VP70Z, Browning BDM, FN Hi-Power (this is the model I really learned to shoot with), HK USP40, Glock, Glock, Glock, Glock, Glock, you get the idea
First I ever fired was some kind of a Single Action 22, possibly an old three screw Ruger, but I didn't know enough back then to know. It belonged to a friends father, and we'd sneak it out to the pond and shoot at frogs with it. Note, I said "Shoot at." I don't recall ever hitting any.
The first one I ever carried was a really nice Colt 38 that was issued to me on a security job. No qualifying, no training. They just handed me the Colt, six rounds of LRN ammo, and a Sam Browne belt and holster. I sure would like to have that gun. I must have dry fired it a million times. I think it had the best trigger I've ever felt.
The first one I ever owned was the classic Smith & Wesson, Model 19 "Combat Magnum" with a 4" barrel. I still kick myself for trading it off. :banghead:
Glock 17. It's still by far my favourite gun today. But I must admit that I shot it very bad when I first got it. But I had nobody to teach me anything, so it was not really the gun's fault. But a .22 or .357/38 revolver is probably the best gun for a complete noob.
