First Firearm You Ever Fired ?

[FMJMIKE]

What was the first firearm you ever fired ???

 

[mljdeckard]

Ruger Mk I. Dad had to warn me to put my left hand under the magazine, NOT behind the right hand, or the bolt would break my thumb. I think I was 4.

 

[Nugilum]

Double Barrel 10 gauge. They thought it would be cool if I pulled both triggers at the same time. I was 11 years old.

It's amazing I didn't get a phobia from that.

 

[Azul]

A cheap, single-shot 12 gauge.

 

[DammitBoy]

Mossberg 144 LSA - it was my older brothers rifle. He taught me how to shoot with it and later on, he gave it to me when he went away to college.



What a sweet shooting little target rifle...

 

[2nd 41]

Mossberg or Remington Bolt 22LR at a summer camp

 

[subierex]

Ruger Single Six. My first boss' (out of college) gun.

After that went and bought a S&W 586 and never looked back.

 

[crankyoldlady]

My dad's 38 caliber service (LEO) revolver. This was back in about 1955 when I was 10 years old. The first firearm I owned was an H&R Sidekick .22 revolver.

[LemmyCaution]

Winchester Model 12, in 12ga. I was 8. The butt was mid bicep when I pulled the trigger. Dad apologized. I didn't hold it against him. Wish he'd left that gun to me, instead of my brother, who doesn't shoot. Wish he'd left the Model 42 to me, as well. The other brother got that. I got the workingman's gun, so I put it to work. Isn't worth much, but I sure do love my Savage Fox.

[Rosk]

First gun I ever fired was a Kel-Tec .380 Micro. It felt as though it kicked like a mother. But then again I could barely even get a grip on it cause it was so small. Haha.

 

[Hud]

My Grandmothers' 1910, 7 shot S&W 2nd Model LadySmith with .22 Longs.

 

[DanielW]

Remington 700 in 30.06

 

[bluecowdawg]

.

A Marlin model 60 with my step dad and i still have this rifle i was 10 yrs old and am now 42 it is a great thing to introduce yer kids to new things no matter what they are.When they grow up the memories will not be of what you did with them ,but that you did with them.

 

[plowboy84]

The first gun I ever shot was a 02 Winchester 22 boys rifle. Single shot bolt.

 

[THE DARK KNIGHT]

First gun I ever shot was a rented 20 gauge O/U at a place called Kensington something in Barbados when I was 17. Forgot about guns for a while, then at 21 in this job I fired a S&W 65 to qualify, first handgun I had ever shot.

 

[nbkky71]

Marlin model 60 when I was a boy scout

 

[slicksleeve]

My Grandad's Remington model 511 .22 bolt action. To this day it is one of the most accurate open sighted rifles I have ever shot.

 

[1naylor]

.22

Some busted old .22 bolt action. 10's of thousands of rounds of 22lr... good times.

 

[Larry Ashcraft]

Probably my dad's Springfield single shot 22. That was about 53 years ago. Dad left us last year, but the Springfield is still here, being used to teach little kids to shoot.

 

[jfh]

Winchester 61, cut down to size for a "Jr." shooter. I was five years old.

[Dewey123]

My grandfather's Remington 512 (.22 LR/L/S bolt Action), that he had had since he was a kid.

 

[MovedWest]

Astra Cub .22 short. It was a pretty weapon - stainless with the engraved scrolling and pearl grips. It was my mom's regular carry gun, but my dad took me out with it when I was 4 years old to get me started shooting. I remember it like it was yesterday, but it was over 30 years ago.

[usmc1371]

Ruger single six and Mk1, same day I think I was 4 maybe 5. I am pretty sure I was an instant addict.

 

[Dambugg]

Winchester Model 1906 .22. Also known as a gallery gun. I love pump .22s. I still have it bent front sight and all.
