What was the first Handgun did you ever shoot.

[DMK]

Egyptian Helwan. Shot 30 rounds of 9mm at a couple beer bottles and didn't do a darn thing but make a lot of noise.

 

[10-Ring]

Geez, the 1st? Well, I remember it being a 380, but can't remember if it was a Bersa or something of similar lineage

 

[FunYet]

A Colt Woodsman .22 that my grandfather loaned me.

 

[Carbon_15]

My Grandmothers High Standard Double Nine, chrome with mother of pearl grips. At the age of 8, I thought it was the coolest gun ever (because I got to shoot it)...saw it the other day at her house...YUCK. Its silly, but I would give an arm and a leg to have that ugly little piece of junk.

 

[modifiedbrowning]

Walther P99 9mm. I still can't figure out why I waited so long.

 

[Schuey2002]

A Harrington & Richardson .22 lr. revolver..

 

[Kevlarman]

My dad's Smith & Wesson 459 (I think that was the model #).

 

[Calif. Hunter]

My Dad's High Standard SportKing. I have that gun now, and it is still a good shooter. It is the lever takedown version, and I just wish it locked the bolt back on an empty magazine. The second handgun I shot was a 6-inch Python that belonged to a cousin. I wish I had that gun - but I have one just like it.

I actually don't know. I was invited to a private range with a bunch of acquaintances and got to shoot someone's handgun (I don't even remember for sure if it was an auto or revolver but I think it was an auto) about 11-12 years ago. When I first actually started to shoot (a couple years ago) I rented a S&W .38spl revolver (I don't remember for sure if it had adjustable or fixed sights, I wouldn't have thought to check then, so I don't know if it was an M10 or M15).

 

[ReadyontheRight]

11.43x23 (AKA .45 ACP). 230 Grain Ball. Quite the first pistol experience -- and my only pistol experience for quite a few years. I finally shot a .38 out of a .357 and it felt like a .22 -- definitely a better place to start.

 

[ReadyontheRight]

11.43x23 (AKA .45 ACP). 230 Grain Ball. Quite the first pistol experience

BTW -- it was Officer-sized.

 

[Sactown]

Buckmark .22 auto.

 

[Trini]

My first pistol was a Chrome Colt Pocket Auto in 32 Auto my dad gave me in the early 70's. He carried it for years. I carried it as back up gun with PD and off duty during hot weather months. Still have it but haven't shot it in a long time. Sights are to hard to use.

 

[R-man]

The first pistol I ever shot was my grandfather's Polish P-35 Radom. I beleive I was about 8 at the time.

 

[JeepDriver]

I was about 10, and it was a 6" S&W 357. I can't remember the model number but I think it was a 586. I remember not hitting anything with it.

 

[w1mnk]

My brother's Ruger Bearcat 22LR. I was around 10, and borrowed it *without* permission with a friend. We went shooting out back (this was in MA - back then, you could shoot out in the country). My friend accidently lowered the Bearcat to rest it on his leg, which was propped on a log. The gun went off. The high speed hollow point went thru my right thigh. Ouch. Thats another whole story. I still shoot. My friend doesn't

 

[.45FMJoe]

Great grandfather's Colt Official Police .38 special. I am now in possession of said gun, but it's a safe queen

 

[Daryl]

My Dads Bronwing High Power. I still have it.

 

[91101]

A Star PD .45. Me and my friend each bought one at the same time. They both ended up being stolen. (at different times and places)

 

[sig970]

First: S&W .38. Exact model unknown

 

[Gila Jorge]

38 Police Positive Colt...it was a 38 S&W I believe....it was not the special. Very smooth and very nice.

 

[2dogs]

A snub nose .38- it wasn't mine and I don't know waht type it was.

It was several years after that when I shot another- Ruger P95 I believe.

 

[jayhway]

First handgun I shot was my dad's Sig 239 in 9mm.

 

[glockten]

My dad's Radom 9mm.

That pistol is now in my safe, as a cherished part of my collection.

 

[New_comer]

My HK USP9f

Hit the black at 7 yrds the first time out, and love shooting it ever since...
