    very first one I had was a Raven .25, didn't keep it too long.
    (1 week if that). Then aquired a couple S&W 422 Target models in various barrel lengths. Then aquired a pair of 6" AMTIIs.
    Then traded off all except one AMT II. Recently got a P22 Walther, AMT IV Longslide, Berreta 92, and an Argentine ported .45.
    Carry them all at one time or another.

    Ruger Single Six .22lr/.22mag. Dad bought it for me for my 7th birthday. I'd still have it, too, if it weren't for all the boating accidents that keep claiming all the guns that I once had...:naughty:

    S&W 4006 got it back in 91, still have it but it sure is heavy for it's size compared to all the new alloy and polymer frames now a days.

    My first pistol was a .32 Berreta my dad gave me. My brother stole, err, sold it a few months later. Sweet little weapon, could get 3", 5 shot groupings at 25 yards.

    This is my LESSON LEARNED! My 1st hand gun was a hi-point 380acp . It wasn't bad for a few hundred rounds, then it started jamming and not coming to a full cycle "I think". I sold it for 75$ that i used to buy my S&W Sigma 40. That was 6yrs ago and the Sigma has never failed in any way. I think my second gun is what got me hooked!
