Got it from a garage sale when I was 17 while jogging. My mom found it a few hours later and that was the end of that. Never saw it again, though not a big loss.

My collection looks very different now. :)

First handgun ever shot was my grandfather's .38 special revolver that he won two olympic gold medals with.

Technically I "own" a hand me down .22 revolver but it stays at my parents house. I currently have my sights on a Kimber Ultra Carry II or an Ultra Raptor as soon as I have saved enough cash

Colt Trooper Mark V, circa 1984, 357 Mag. 6'" barrel, nickel plated. Thousands of rounds thru it and still shoots straight as an arrow!

My first Handgun purchased was a .22 Browning Buckmark. I've fired thousands of rounds through it. And it would never think of getting rid of it.
My first rifle was actually a .22 Browning Buckmark rifle. Love that gun to death still.

And my first handgun is going to be a Kimber Raptor 2 in just 2 more months when I turn 21.

Taurus Model 85 .38, five shot revolver. A sweet sub-compact that could form a tight cluster (under 3" at 50 yards).

Wish I still had her!

9mm Luger Black Widow that my maternal grandfather (whom I'm named after) brought back from WWII Deutschland. He passed away before I was born and left his guns to my dad, who in turn gave this one to me. I have never fired it, but I would really love to!

Walther P88 Compact. Bought it in 1993 when I was in Germany for $820. Got $700 for it when I got rid of it in 2005. Id say it held its resale.
