The oldest handgun that I have fired is a 102 year old 1911 Navy Colt, the 3 rounds I shot out of it preformed like it was 1912. A bunch of people probably wince at the thought of it, but John Browning would smile knowing some of the earliest 1911's still go bang every now and then.
It doesn't get out much although it was shot for many years by family with no concept of it being so old or so rare, maybe one day I will have a kid and let them shoot a few rounds from it. Probably one of the rarest and oldest guns I will ever shoot. I might get it out in another 8 years to shoot a few rounds on it's 110th year of existence and again on it's 120th. Taking the chance of shooting a few rounds every decade is acceptable to me.
Here she is. Everything except the barrel was made in 1912. The barrel stamp indicates it is not original but still very old, made in 1916.
