What was the first Handgun did you ever shoot.

[ZekeLuvs1911]

A Springfield Armoury .45 ACP. What a way to learn!

Dad was the CO of a National Guard company, and managed to get me onto the pistol range on "qual" day after his MPs had fired for record. I was nine or ten, and a burly sergeant gave me a quick safety briefing, then handed me what seemed like the biggest, grayest pistol in the world. Naturally, it was a 1911A1 .45.

I shot it at 25 yards -- I don't think I hit much -- and clearly remember the recoil pushing my little arms up so far that my forearms rapped the GI steel pot on my head. I got to shoot two mags of five rounds each.

Never did get over it. Twenty-one years later, my carry gun is a Commander .45.

The first gun I ever fired was a Smith and Wesson 38 Special 6 shot double action revolver. The second gun I fired was another Smith and Wesson; a 9mm semi auto. The third gun I fired was a Vector Arms Uzi Standard Full Auto. As you can probably guess I have just taken up shooting.

Walther PPKS 380acp

My uncle took me out when I was about 12
and we shot at some beer cans. The kick was pretty stout
and needless to say I did not hit anything.

I was hooked from that moment

Raven Arms .25acp... belonged to my Dad... he still has it and it still functions well even after having the magazines loaded for over 20 yrs. He paid $15.00 for it in the early 70's.

first pistol shot

My first pistol that I shot was a Beretta Mark 1 in 22lr. As soon as I shot it I wanted something bigger to shoot.
