Your longest serving Handgun
I purchased a Colt Government model in 1980, and later had it customized by Richard Heinie. Still in the safe, along with my first duty gun, a S&W model 66-2 I was issued in November of 1981.


Left the blazing dumpster fire of of taxes, corruption and tyranny that is Illinois, for freedom in Florida.

S&W Mod 59 9mm purchased in 74 or 75. Still runs flawlessly.

Colt Cobra, purchased new in 1977. The revolver was stolen from a delivery truck when I'd shipped it out for refinishing, in the mid-80s. Miraculously, it was recovered in a Detroit area raid, a couple of years later and returned to me. I sent it out for refinishing in satin nickel, a second time. It's still with me, function and finish is perfect, but no longer carried.

Like Bendable mine is a 4” Stainless GP100 I bought used in 1987. It has the most amazing trigger. I’ve never shot another revolver that has a trigger as smooth and crisp. I’ve maybe got 500 rounds through it.

I'm not including antique pieces here. My first gun was a Ruger Single Six from 1956. It was used when Dad gave it to me in about 1969, when I was 10. Still have it.

Then it's my GLOCK 19 Gen 3 of course!!! Since 1998?

Smith & Wesson 4506-1....original owner. I picked it up in the early 90's while enrolled at Auburn.

All my buddies were buying Glock 17s and so the day I brought it to the range they were questioning why I bought such a "brick". I still laugh today as this old fellow who ran this range in east Lee County (somewhere between Auburn and Beauregard) called my Marine ROTC buddies "P's" for not buying a "man's" pistol.

And yes the G17 has outlasted my Smith however I just cant stand to part with it.
