what was your first gun you bought not

[RNB65]

S&W Model 60 bought around 1989. Still use is as one of my two concealed carry guns.

 

[Stinger1]

My first firearms purchase was in 1970 it was a Mossberg .22cal bolt action rifle, bought it from Sears . . . . . . And I still have it tucked away in my safe.

[Blue .45]

S&W M19-4. I recently gave it to my niece after she bought her new house. If anyone starts a 'Did you ever have second thoughts about giving away a gun thread ', I will list the same gun. Oh well, at least I can still visit it from time to time.

 

[Stauffenberg]

My first was a Henry Arms AR-7, purchased at a gun show when I was 18. My folks have a neurotic fear and hatred of firearms (they're perfect parents otherwise), and so I never had guns around when I was growing up.

And to answer the obvious question: The parents were enraged.

first gun - a BB gun - a very long time ago . Wish I still had it
first "real" long gun - a Remington wingmaster 12 ga. pump bought in the early 1970's . Had to sell it when I was desperate for money once - still regret selling it . Have since then bought a Remington 870 express . A good gun but not as nice as the wingmaster .
first handgun - Ruger SP101 357 2.25" barell - great gun but I wish I got the 3 " barell

First one I bought was a Ruger 10/22 right after my 18th B-day. Walked outta that store grinnin ear to ear. Killed many a can, bottle, and a couple of gophers with it since.

 

[Stevie-Ray]

Ruger RST-6

Unless airguns count. Then it would be a Sheridan Blue Streak in 5mm.

 

[RH822]

Ruger Mini-14, paid $225.00 for it at Wa-Mart in Copperas Cove Texas in
1983. Still have it.

I care not to remember my 1st so I count my HK P7M8 as the first gun I bought.

 

[EricTheBarbarian]

first gun i ever bought was a savage .17. I had just turned 18 and wanted something better for squirrels and groundhogs than my dads marlin model 60. First handgun, a springfield xd in .45 acp.

 

[shep854]

My first was a Colt Combat Commander .45 in stainless, back in '89. I was actually looking for a Springfield M1911A1, but having read a review of the Commander by Massad Ayoob, I jumped when I came across this one.

 

[Harry Paget Flashman]

Ruger Blackhawk .357 with an interchangeable 9mm cylinder in 1972 in San Francisco. I wonder if you can still do that?

I bought a pair of Cordovan Wingtips that same week that I still have.

 

[SNEAKS]

Ruger GP100 6'' .357

 

[Sun195]

Glock 19 on my 21st birthday.

 

[3rdpig]

First gun I ever bought, meaning paid for with my own money, was a Model 94 Winchester. First gun I ever walked into a store and bought without Dad doing the actual buying was a Browning High Power when I was 21.

Still got both of 'em!

 

[Autolycus]

A Glock 17 was my first purchase.

 

[skinnyguy]

A single shot marlin .22 bolt action from 1939 that my grandfather gave to me. Let me tell you even though its old it can shoot better than I can.

 

[tinygnat219]

CZ-24. Grandad brought it back from WWII. When I was living in a sketchy area, my father brought it over to me and said "Just in Case".
