What was your first gun.

[joshk-k]

NEF 20 gauge single-shot. I bought it for my 20th birthday. I traded it against a similar gun, an H&R Handi-rifle with 20 gauge smooth and rifled barrels, and a .30-30 barrel.

Semi-auto M16 replica chambered in .22 that my dear Uncle Charles purchased for me back in the early 1980s.

Still have it laying around here somewhere.

[Kim]

.38 special snub nose. My father gave it to me. He bought it from a local police officer. Not gonna say anything else cause it was unique in a funny way. It was stolen when someone broke out the window of my truck while parked at the hospital. Never will be seen again. Yes I did report the incident and collected insurance. Police officer was very nice.

 

[Ohio Gun Guy]

Armscor .22, Dont have it, literally wore it out. Had the firing pin re-worked 2 times. I shot THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of rounds through that .22. It was very accurate. I actuall have been thinking about getting another one!

 

[BlackHand1917]

Marlin-Glenfield Model 60. My first handgun was a Targa GT-380, a cheap Italian Beretta .380 clone. First centerfire rifle was a 6.5mm Carcano.

 

[KaintGetwright]

A Ruger 10/22. Shot it first when I was four and a half but it had officially been mine since dad found out I was a boy. I still shoot it to this day. It has given me a significant bias in the Ruger vs. Marlin .22 debate.

 

[357sigRog]

First gun was a .22 rifle from my father.

 

[gvnwst]

NEF 20ga single shot shotgun, followed closly by a savage MKII bolt action.

 

[passinthru]

A Marlin 39A. Had to sell it. Now have two 39s.

 

[muddywatters]

Mossberg 500. Picked it up at a gunshow when I was 18 (1990) and I still have it today.

 

[Jmacalpine]

Mossberg Maverick 88. $125 or so at the new Wally World Supercenter, about 7 years ago. Bought it at 11pm still wearing my chef's uniform on the way home from work. covered in grease stains and blood. (i wonder what they thought of that?) I actually walked in looking for a .410 for backyard plinking, and got talked into the 12g.

 

[callo685]

Mossberg 500A 12gauge that I have now heavily upgraded with a Knox SpecOps and a front pistol grip

 

[chupacabrah]

M&P9mm

It was great. I just sold it, actually.

 

[therealdoublel]

Winchester Model 62A Carbine, still my favorite .22

 

[scottishclaymore]

Went in the day after my 18th birthday and bought a Yugoslavian SKS. Originally planned on "bubba-ing" it, but I liked it so much the way it was I have never messed with it. It is still a dependable weapon and serves as my hog gun.

 

[DeathByCactus]

Ruger .22 automatic of some kind.

 

[22-rimfire]

My first firearm that I purchased with my own money was a Mossberg Model 800 243 rifle. I was 15 or had just turned 16. That held me until I got out of college. I sold it a while back to a fella that really like Mossie's. I wasn't shooting it and he would appreciate it. It is kind of like giving puppies away, you want to give them a good home regardless of $.

Oops. I bought a Rem Model 700 in 270 win a couple years after the Mossberg. Then I was good to go until I was out of college.

 

[Nero_Atrum]

First gun I bought is a Dan Wesson CBOB.

 

[heron]

H & R Sportsman, model 999, I think it was. Top-break-open .22 revolver, 9 shot. One of the prettiest guns I've ever seen, and very accurate, despite having a somewhat heavy trigger.

Sold it many years back, and I wish I hadn't, just for its looks.

 

[Yo Mama]

Mossberg 500 w/ 18.5 inch barrel. I was never allowed guns by my mom, not cap guns, toy guns, ...we did have squirt guns....but that was it!

When I got to college, I was working nights, and my girlfriend, and future wife, was home alone. I got the shotgun mainly for her protection, and then I was hooked after a few rounds of trap.

I have collected a few more guns over the years, and feel that it is exponential to how I was raised with none!

 

[Guitargod1985]

Kel-tec P11. Glad I got rid of the defective POS.

 

[Lightninstrike]

Bolt action .22 rifle handed down by Grandpa. Shoots short, long and lr. Hey, can you even by 22 short anymore? I have a second rifle, again from grandpa, single shot that only takes 22 short.

 

[S&W-Keeper]

Mine was a snubbie Rossi revolver in 1968.
