Your First Gun...Still Got It?

[JustinL]

My first was an Anshutz which my father bought me in 1990. I still have it, but have not fired it in at least 10 years.

I still have my .22, Ithaca Saddle Gun that my mom and dad got me for Christmas when I was 12. That was 1968.

My first firearm was a Smith & Wesson model 411 .40 caliber pistol. I still have it.

The first firearm I ever fired was a Remington .22 rifle that belonged to my brother (since he was 16). That's in my custody since he can't even have it where he lives.

The first "gun" that was ever mine was a Marksman repeater pistol, the kind that is styled to look like a model 1911. I still have that, too.

My first firearm was a Winchester M-77 Mag fed, still have it. Dad gave it to me on my 12th birthday in 1959. Bought and sold a bunch since but never that one.

If we count BB guns, then no. I was given one at 9, but it was used and abused and pretty much fell apart by the time I was 14 or so. I think the pieces of it that are left are still at my parent's house somewhere.

The first honest to goodness firearm I owned is the shotgun I bought last July, which I do still have. Up till then I just used my father's firearms, since he has plenty of them.

My grandfather gave me my first gun - a single shot .22 of unknown origin w/ a poorly carved stock. The lockup was... not good. Whenever I'd shoot it, the back of the round would blow out and spray me with bits of brass and whatever. It took me a couple of shots to figure out what was happening. Back to grandpa it went and it was several years until I had another gun (Marlin 60 this time).
