I'm curious about everyone's first handgun—did you keep it, or did you move on to something else? I still have mine, and it's got some great memories attached. Share your stories and any photos if you have them!
 
NO!! Mother in law gave me a Davis arms 380
While taking the CC class it froze up .The instructor let me borrow the BURSA thunder
I bought one the next day still have it

My first handgun was a Ruger Single Six.I don't want to say how long ago thats been,but it cost $59. new. I no longer have it but I do have a Ruger Mark 2 I bought about the same time.
 
I started off on top. In 1975 my father bought me a Colt Python for my high school graduation. Making it a little more special was the fact that he hated handguns. Hunting guns were fine but he saw absolutely no need for a handgun. I was blown away when he bought it. I still have it and have probably put 25k minimum rounds through it
 
Dan Wesson .357 Magnum revolver in Stainless. Bought it new in 1983. Still have it. Paid $185 for it. Came with the 2" and 4" barrels. Bought the others later.

First handgun was a plain jane sig p226. Love that gun. Have put thousands upon thousands of rounds through it without a single malfunction. Still have it and will never part with it.
