Prized handgun?

Did someone ever give you a handgun as a gift?

My grandfather gave me a Colt Anaconda 8 3/8" barrel for my 22nd Christmas gift.
I had tears in my eyes as I opened the blue factory box in front of over 20 family members. My hands shook as I removed that Stainless snake gun from the box.

To date it is without a doubt the greatest gift I have ever received.

How bout you?

My father-in-law gave me a PPK that he brought home from WWII Germany. Immeasurable sentimental value.

my father gave me for my 21st birthday his Police dept service revolver a s&w model 10-6 heavy bbl (blued) and for my 30th birthday he gave me his model 36 2" snub he carried as a backup... and somewhere inbetween those for my 25th b-day he boiught me a model 19-4 357 magnum... those guns are priceless to me.. but the one that i treasure the most is his model 36, as i saw him carry it daily to protect his sons on hiking trips through Wissahickon park on sundays... ahh the memories..

After my Dad passed away, my Mom gave me his Victory model S&W 38 special (Issued to Navy flight crews) that he had carried through WWII and the Korean War.

MY NEIGHBOR GAVE ME HIS MODEL 29 SMITH AS HIS WIFE WENT ANTI GUN CRAZY! HE SAID IT WAS HER OR THE GUN. HE VOTED FOR KERRY WHILE SHE STOOD IN THE VOTING BOOTH WITH HIM. HE REALLY DOESN'T NEED A GUN.

My Dad when he was still alive started us young with gun's as gifts. In order here they are: .22 Marlin, 20ga single shot, .35 rem 760 gamemaster, .22 s&w model 422 when i turned 21 years old. all are well cared for and the same goes for the sentiment that they hold.
