First Centerfire Pistol (GUN TOPIC)

Colonel Plink

What was yours? What caliber? Make? Model?

I'm conducting an informal poll.

Mine was a S&W Model 28-2 (Which would tell most of the assembled here the caliber)

BT99

Ditto on the Smith 28, 6 inch. bought it in 1962.

Will not mention the 38 S & W , in a British Bulldog, that I bought for$3.00 when I was 12 years old. Had to keep it hid around the house.

Pdog

Can't remember for sure. Either CZ52 in 7.62x25 or a hi point in 9mm not much of a center fire pistol guy only have like 6 others and 3 of them are encore barrels.

Ruger security six. 4- inch blue with custom wood grips.

Old-Colts

I can't remember which came first, the chicken (41 Mag) or the egg (357 Mag), but I believe it was a 4 5/8 inch Ruger 41 Magnum Blackhawk right after they came out, sometime in the 60's (66-67).

Don McManus

686, 6" barrel, 7 round cylinder.

1,000s of rounds through it, and still tight as the day I bought it.

Ruger Security Six 6"

Ricci Wright

Ruger three screw 4 5/8" .357 mag. I had paid 75.00 for a Savage 311B and traded even for the Ruger. I had a part time job running dirty moves at a drive in and a security guard working there wanted the Ruger bad. Traded me a nice Russian SXS ( this was 1974 and Russian SKS's were rare) a 94 Winchester and a LAW rocket tube. I traded the SKS for a brand new Pacific 366 auto 12 gauge loader. I don't remember what happened to the Win or tha LAW tube.

Smith and Wesson 5 shot .38, but not a snub nose. Reminded me of my friend's dad's FBI pistol. Trigger guard was slightly bent and I sold it for about half of what I'd paid for it to buy another gun. Looking back, sure wish I hadn't sold it, but I suppose I could say that about all the guns I've sold.

First autoloader was a Sigma .40 which was much derided but I actually kind of like. I then bought a Smith 908 (909?) 9mm which I kind of liked but it made a weird BOING! when dry firing. I sold that one too, taking a bath, and I sold the Ruger P90 I bought shortly after that. So three pistols sold, probably netting me a total of $600 or $700, and I'd GLADLY give you $700 to get all three back.

Early 1960's my oldest brother heard that the neighboring towns police dept was selling their old duty revolvers. I road with him the 12 miles and we found the guns in a cardboard box at their power plant. Choice for $15.00 cash and carry. He bought a Colt and I chose a S&W model 10.
