An antique, or so my hubby tells me. A Colt Woodsman that I bought the day after my 21st birthday just because I could.

My first and only, Swedish M96 made in 1910.
As far as the rifle goes, It shoots great. My only complaint about it as my first firearm is that the ammo costs a bit.

Browning Semi Auto .22. Like a knuckle head, I sold it to a neighbor when I went off to the Navy.

The first one I bought myself was a Sig SCM.
A Daisy air rifle that I got for my 10th birthday. I have no idea what I did with it... I'm sure it was lost, sold, traded off, or given away as is the custom of most 10 year old boys.
My first 'real' gun was a barely used Maverick 88 that I got from a friend for next to nothing, never fired, and traded off a few weeks later as part of the purchase price on a brand new Mossberg 590A1. I still have that one.

My first firearm was an old Stevens Crackshot in 32 rimfire. Even back in 1958, the ammo was hard to get.

My first gun, Savage model 111 in 30-06
my first gun that I bought? a Mosin Nagant. I only own two ATM so the mosin sits beside my computer desk as a go to gun. I'm 17 and I have to wait till i'm 18 (at least thats what my parents say atm) to buy another gun. I have a possible S&W 645 for around $400 - $500 or a FM High Power for $320, still haven't decided.

My dad said I could have a gun when I was 14. I saved up all my lunch money and misc funds I could get, and talked him into lettimg me have a handgun, specifically a WWII CYQ P-38 (I was wild over the Man From U.N.C.L.E. at the time). In 1966, it cost $55, and surplus ammo was $2-$3 for a 64 round pack from Finland, or someplace in Europe. It shot fine, but I couldn't hit a gallon paint can at 25 feet at first. Then I got some book on shooting, and slowed down, hunkered up, and did what the author said, and pretty soon the groups got smaller, and I moved back to 25 yards, etc. Then it became FUN. My dad always thought I was nuts, and thought I should've gotten a .22 rifle. I never regretted it, and I'm sure I am nuts, but it made me the shooter I am today. I do remember that a Luger was $75, and an artillery Luger was $125 at the time............

1961, Mossberg 20ga bolt fast action bird gun, purchased for 25 hard earned dollars from Uncle Milties Pawn shop. Can't say I really miss the thing, caught so much ribbing from my friends, traded it for a Savage 24 .22Mag, .410.
I had a couple rifles starting at age age 14. My first rifle was a 30-30. I dont even remember what kind. But my first handgun was a kel-Tec p11 9mm. $280.00 brand new. It had a snappy little recoil and I learned to control it. I loved that gun. Great for carry which is why i bought it. If i could change anything about it. I would certaintly suggest that kel-Tec add a safety/decocker. But all in all a great gun for the money. I sold it to my sister for a little over a hundred bucks so she would have something to carry.
She didnt have a lot of money to spend on a gun. I carry a bersa thunder .380 now. And I couldnt be happier. But I intend on getting another Kel Tec as soon as I find a good deal.
