Just curious, in your experiences what should you look for in your first pistol? What did you get for your first? Did you regret buying what you did, I would just like to pick your brains, thanks.

My first was the Beretta 92FS. No regrets and I bought a few more variations over the years. Buy what fits you hand in a common caliber to start. I'm pretty sure that between all of us we pretty much own most popular guns, so ask to try before you buy.Pat ------> NRA Lifetime Endowment Member #FAAFO

My first handgun was a Russian Makarov. I must have each and every Russian gun in existence, but this is just o mage to my childhood dreams. Before choosing try to handle the gun you are thinking to get. But think this way- what ever you do, don't touch Glock or your balls will fell off. Ask Malaka, he is smooth as a Ken doll.

My first was a Beretta 84F. I bought it about 25 years ago because I respected the Beretta name and the pistols manual of arms. I seldom use it anymore and it still looks great and it's a good shooter. Never had a Malfunction with it. It fires the cheapest ammo to the hottest Cor-Bon without hiccups. My advise, do your research and don't be in a hurry and buy a good brand. A firearm will last a lifetime if taken care of properly and be handed down to the next Generation.

this was my first pistol. Ruger Standard i bought used at campsite. I am happy with it. Just like everyone should have a 22 rifle, everyone should have a 22 pistol.
shoots great, comfortable to hold. great to learn on. 22 is a good starting round to learn with. since a 22 is not a great carry self defense gun, best to get a target 22 pistol
