First was a Webley MK VI converted to.45 ACP. I was 13 and my mother had to buy the gun.Second was a very nice Colt M-1917.45 that was a Christmas gift when I was 16.The first that I actually bought was either a S&W MK.II.455 or a Lend-Lease Colt.45 auto.
While going through a building that formerly housed a factory authorized Smith & Wesson Service Center, I came across a binder that contained exploded parts diagrams and parts lists for various Smith & Wesson firearms. Alhough undated, I suspect the informaton was from around 1988 based on the Model variations covered. Please don't ask me about buying or selling parts; I don't do that.

I'm not sure which I bought first. I was 19 and stationed in Denver with the USAF. I shopped at Gart Bros and Dave Cook, and the clerks faked my age as 21 on the papers. Both said that they trusted me as a military policeman who might have to fight in Vietnam to own a pistol while under 21. I suspect that they wouldn't do that today. Times are different.The Lend-Lease.45 had the usual British proof marks and was one of several with higher than usual fixed sights that were probably added by SOE or some other special operations force, I suspect. (Other.45 autos from the UK usually have normal sights.)The first brand new commercial one was a Colt Gold Cup.45 auto with a special-ordered arched mainspring housing.
I bought it in Newfoundland, via the BX store. I'd tell you how well it shot with Federal 230 grain Match grade ammo, but some would think that beyond my or the gun's capability. But it wasn't.

I shot pretty well then.If starting out in handguns today, I'd first buy a M-66-3 S&W.357 with four-inch barrel, and then a Model 60-7 snub.38. I think those are the best basic handguns, one for concealed use. Next, I'd add a stainless 5.5-inch bull-barreled Ruger.22 auto. If I was shooting a lot of full.357 ammo, I'd quickly add a Ruger GP-100. I love my GP, but as an all-round.357-capable gun that weighs less and is easier to conceal, the M-66 has an edge for most people. Mine was a Ruger Single Six Convertable 22/22mag.Loved the 22 lr. Hated the 22 mag.I talked my Dad into letting me get it.I wanted it because of the 22 mag which the ballistics tables made look as good as a 38 special - something Dad would never have let me get.
Of course, I didn't tell Dad my 'real' reasoning.When you're 13, balistic tables impress you a lot.I was young and dumb about such things and was very impressed by trivial velocity differences and foot pounds of energy seemed really important.Over the last 52 years, I've become much less wowed about such things and learned to pay attention to performance in the field. My first handgun. The year was. In August of that year I got married and ten days later enrolled in seminary at New Orleans, LA. In a few weeks I had a job at a shipyard as a security guard. On the first Saturday night of September, I blundered up on a dope deal. They shot a lot and I ran a lot.

It turned out O.K. On Wednesday of the following week I bought a Colt Commander in.45 ACP.
Smith And Wesson 915 Value
It was the biggest gun I could find. It was not the most accurate pistol to ever come down the pike, but it went bang every time I pulled the trigger. It fed hardball perfectly, not so much JHP's. Later, I got a four inch nickle 19-3. The Colt went away. Gave it to my father when I graduated. Someone in the family took it out of the house when no one was looking and replaced it with a Beretta 92.
Pistol but nothing to get all excited about. The very logical reason that if it was good enough for James Bond, it was good enough for me. After seeing him hip-shoot a guy off a rooftop 100 feet away at night with one, and knowing that “M” called it a “Real man-stahppah,” I knew it was right.Disappointment hits hard.It was a 7.65mm that I bought from a college class mate.
Eight years later I was relieved of it by a foreign government.At the top of the pic is a PPK (no “S”). I loaned it to two women, one who returned it after 20 years, the other after 19. You may notice holster wear.I. did NOT do that!The PPK/S and PP were purchased together to replace the PPK I was relieved of.The stainless S&W-made model is, in my opinion, the best of the lot. That extended grip tang has saved me a lot of blood. It has a few other changes that may offend purists, but I’m not a collector.
I want function and reliability.Trivia note: In one of the James Bond movies the dialog says he has a PPK. However, the gun seen in the movie is a PP. The producer or director thought it looked better than the PPK. Since it's a Lazarus thread I went thru and made sure I hadn't already posted!My first handgun, in fact the first handgun other than a pellet pistol I ever pulled the trigger on, was a 45 Colt Ruger Blackhawk with a 7 1/2' bbl.I was sixteen and saved up money from working at the Sing Station.
A fellow that worked for my Dad had a kitchen table FFL, back when such things were possible.Shortly after I got the gun I found a reloading press in the classified section of the paper. I doubt I ever shot more than a couple of boxes of factory loads thru that gun.Being young and not too bright I thought I had to stoke that rascal up to near nuclear levels. I mostly loaded Speer 260 gr. Jacketed hollow points at 'Ruger and Contender only ' levels out of the Speer manual. I shot a LOT.One of the places we shot was pretty popular. Once when I there an older fellow (I mean this guy was in his thirties!) showed up and had a Super Blackhawk.
He asked if I wanted to shoot it. Having never shot a 44 mag I took him up on it. Those are full house factory loads. It ain't no 45.' Given the fearsome reputation of the big 44 I leaned into the thing and pulled the trigger. I though maybe I had a squib.
I shot again. It didn't buck and snort like my gun. He said to finish the cylinder and I did.I handed him my gun and told him to have at it and that they were reloads.He casually popped one off and his eyes got as big as saucers-he held the gun like it was radioactive, pushed it back at me and said, 'You're crazy! What the hell kind of load is that!' He refused to shoot it again.After a while I toned things down and discovered how wonderful the 45 Colt is when loaded to sane levels, and eventually had two Colts SAAs which were great, pleasant shooters. All three of those guns were stolen some years back-long story about how I foolishly let that happen.By the way, don't let anybody tell you you cant wear out a Blackhawk. As my user name alludes to, my first handgun was a 686+ 5' half lug stocking dealer special.My first rifle was around 1982 or so.
It was a Marlin 30/30 that I purchased new at Target off the shelf. Can you imagine that now?I had hunted with rifle and shotgun over the years but was doing some work for a neighbor in his basement and asked whats in the large safe?He confided in me that he had a large collection of guns and that he does not normally let just anyone see this.
When he opened the safe it was like nothing I had ever seen. Full to the gills with everything imaginable.I was hooked. Since then I have been buying and playing with everything I could afford. Buy, trade, sell, buy.I am currently in a rifle intrigue time.
