Remembering Your First Handgun: Do You Still Have It?

[Alan]

What was your first handgun? I remember mine being a bit of a handful! Do you still have it, and what's your take on it now? I'd love to hear your stories or see some pics!

My first was a Ruger Standard four inch. I bought it new for $49 plus tax at Tiano's Sporting Goods in Santa Fe. I was 18 years old. I transferred it to my youngerbbrother last year.

That was my first as well, with the six-inch barrel, given to me by Dad on my 18th birthday in 1971. Alas, I traded it off long ago.
