I like my 9mm’s but my first gun was not a nine. My first gun was procured in an unusual manner. At the time I was a supervisor of several people for Local government. One of my people had a drinking problem. One early evening I got a call from the police asking me questions about him. He was in his home with a gun threatening to kill himself. I raced to his house and found several police cars with cops standing around. They were devising a plan to go in and take his gun away from him and shooting him if need be because he had been threatening them. I started for the front door to go talk to him and they stopped me and said it was too dangerous. When they weren’t looking I went back and went in the house hollering at John. We had a good conversation about his troubles. I asked him where he got the little 25 caliper semiautomatic he had and he told me the story behind it. I told him I would really like to have a gun like that and offered him a hundred dollars for it. He immediately thought that was a good deal for him and agreed. We walked out the front door with a bunch of cops aiming their guns at us and I explained that he didn’t have the gun anymore. And that is how I got my first gun.

I still have that little 25 and it is fun but in my opinion dangerous, the trigger is very sensitive, all my other pistols are double action only, I hate single action. I think that is how so may cops end up shooting unarmed people.
