cslinger, I'm a child of decades earlier, so I guess the 1911 or FN/Browning Hi Power for me. The first SIG I bought was back in the '80s though, a P226.

1911 probably because it was 1st pistol I shot and was also common in all those WW2 movies I see when I was a kid.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Jelly,
Originally posted by fquico: A Fanner 45. When I was a kid, I got this toy gun for Christmas. It shot plastic bullets that were loaded onto a springed cartridge. You could past a round cap on the shell and when you draw the pistol, you would fan the hammer just like in the movies.
No shit....Those Fanner45's were kick ass!! Thanks fquico, for bringing back a terrific childhood memory.
