How much was your first handgun?

[billybob44]

Must have been in the '60's'

Ruger Single Six Convertible $59.63 and I have the receipt to prove it.

^^^I finally found someone here older than Me??HA HA...Bill

 

[mjpell]

$180 on a S&W 9mm, about 15 years ago.

Curious. I'm debating spending kind of a lot, or not a lot. It'd be interesting to see what you all did.

 

[alc1985]

1968 I bought a new S&W model 36 for $75.00.

 

[tmanbuddyy]

$50 and it was a piece of junk. 9mm

 

[Mortblanc]

$12.95 for a brand new .22lr revolver at Freidman's Army surplus in Nashville, TN.

Followed a month latter by the purchase of a Ruger Standard .22 autopistol for $29.95.

That was around 1967.

I also bought a model 36 S&W for $85 new in 1974 and a model 10 for $75 a year latter.

Yes I am old too!

My first handgun cost me $475. Gen3 Glock 22 w/ meprolight night sights.

I bought a Ruger Security Six, 6" barrel in .357 for $325. Ended up trading it (since a 6" barrel doesn't have much use in an apartment) for a Sig p250. Loved the gun, just not what I needed most.

My first handgun was a Taurus model 669, 357 magnum. I got it for $300 from the Castleton, Gander Mountain. If I ever decide to be a cow girl I think it would be a cool gun to open carry.

 

[kodymartin]

$475 sig sauer P250 in .40. love it!

 

[Hunter58]

Ruger Super Blackhawk in 1976 for $180. Still own it.

 

[conan1rice]

Glock 23 w/ chopped grip. So basically a glock 27 long.

 

[cmstuard]

$250 - 357 Magnum

 

[paddling_man]

Maadi Helwan Brigadier. Licensed copies of Beretta M1951 under special Egyptian. $165 purchased wholesale with via brother's FFL 25 years ago.

Worked great as designed... with ball ammo only.

 

[snapping turtle]

Ruger Mark II government target model 22. Under 250 in the 1980's. sales man told me it was the perfect beginner pistol.

Second a few indy 1500's later was a s&W model 60 about 250. I traded it right before deer season for T/C contender with 357 mag barrel 10 inch. I still have the T/C and the ruger.

I wish I had the smith model 60 also.

I think I paid just under $300 before tax for a new Taurus PT92 at Walmart in Borger TX back in '91. My decision came down to it and a Glock 17 but I just couldn't get past that "wierd" plastic frame. Fast forward to 2012 and I don't own any handguns that don't have a plastic frame.

 

[gcoop]

1973 Ruger 10/22, for $62.99 at Western Auto. Thanks Grandpa!

 

[Iroquois]

SMITH &WESSON. K22, ........about $175 from Dad. Deal was I had go sell it back if I wanted
something else. I did, got a old model 10 p.o.s. in trade. Got it back when he passed.
Still one of my favorites.

 

[mbaza3]

Ruger GP100 .357 Mag 6" stainless revolver for $340 used.

[The Bubba Effect]
