Remember Your First Handgun? Do You Still Have It?

[Alan]

Thinking back to my first handgun brings a mix of nostalgia and smiles. I'd love to hear about yours! Do you still have it? How do you feel about it now? Feel free to share any stories or photos!

S&W 617 "no dash," 6" barrel, purchased new in 1991.

Had to sell it for tuition money, in 1993…

My first was a Taurus PT92 I bought used in college. I did not know much at the time, just wanted something affordable. Thing was surprisingly reliable, and I still have it in the safe. It is beat up, but I will never sell it.
