Kahr P9. Knew that I wanted a compact carry gun and a full size range gun and found a deal on the Kahr that suited me. Looking to add a Glock 22 as my 2nd gun.
Springfield Armory Parkerized Loaded 1911. Didn't even have my LTCH yet, so I had to wait a month to take it to the range. Still have it, and hope never to have to sell it. Liked it so well, I got a shorter and lighter Springfield for carry.
First that I bought myself: Ruger KP345PR - It's a beaut!
Also I've have a .38 Harrington & Richardson or maybe it's a Richardson and Harrington break open revolver that was my grandpas, never fired it - Patents are late 1800s.
First pistol shot was a Beretta (.380 I think, but maybe a 9mm - haven't seen it in years) when I was around 5, nearly bounced it off my forehead but ol dad was there (and proabably just waiting for a good laugh).
Raven .25 While working a second job as bar security to pay off maxxed out credit card, It was all that I could afford ($35 NIB) . It was comforting to have in my back pocket while walking out to the car in the wee hours of the a.m. after dealing with drunks and fools all night. I even found a guy to reload ammo for it since i couldn't afford factory ammo to practice with it. (This was before Blazer ammo.) Has shot everytime. Still use it for deep carry backup.
1978 S&W model 66-1 .357 combat Magnum. Walnut grips. 150 bucks, still got it, and it looks like a new one, except i polished the stainless with Simichrome over the years and tru oiled the grips. I bet I havent put 500 rounds thru it.
