Your First Gun?

[iLikeOldgunsIlikeNewGuns]

First I ever shot was a break-action single-shot .22lr ThompsonCenter Contender, as a camper at scout camp. I ended up working there later on for four years as an instructor Great gun to teach kids or beginners with. Single-shot inspires better marksmanship, vs "ooh that pop-pop-pop is cool"

First I ever bought was a Pietta 1851 Navy replica in .44, I spent much time deciding what I wanted my first gun to be

First 'Modern' firearm I've owned was my S&W 5906 handed down/sold to me by a great older friend

First gun bought at a gun-store with license was my ltd edition S&W 1911 polished stainless, GI style guiderod and plug

I won't be parting with any of those until I'm too frail to lift 'em!

My response would once again be; 'Savage 24DL'. The same response I've made on a few of the many 'first gun' threads.

Here is one of those 'first gun' threads...one with 202 pages of replies. It is still an active thread as of 3 days ago.
