I'd love to hear about everyone's first handguns! Do you still own yours, or did it get traded in for something else? I still remember the first time I shot mine—definitely some good memories attached to it. Feel free to share your stories or any photos if you have them!
 
A piece of junk single action .22 I bought off a classmate on the front lawn of the high school back in the 70s. It shot about 2 feet to the right. Don't remember what I paid maybe $10 and sold it for $15 or so. Back then in our little town you could arm a company of Marines out of the parking lot of the high school. From Sept to about Feb when the rabbit season ended there was always a bunch of guns along with knives, axes etc. in the students vehicles. I don't remember ever locking the doors of my Scout don't think the other kids did either.
