Odd, I loved my Security Six - it was a great gun. Never acted up, and accurate as could be. Sweet trigger, and great adjustable sights. Carried for several years. Lost it to the ex wife in the divorce, and it broke my heart. I really miss that gun, and it wasn't even my first. The x nope don't miss her at all, but that gun - oh yeah. Anyone got one in stainless with the 3" barrel, adjustable sights, and factory grips? If so we can talk trade or purchase.

Daisy Red Ryder, later a Daisy pump. Then a 22 bolt action and a 22/22 Mag H&R revolver. Still have the H&R and it still a good shooter.

Other then a select few, I'd never get rid of 3 of them. I have to admit, that I went through guns like toilet paper when I was 18 to 23.
My first was a Stevens .22 single shot, I sold it when I got stationed in California for 50 bucks and regret it to this day. My other loss was my first deer rifle, my Win. Mod. 70 Feather weight in 30-06, another leaving for California sale that I would give my right pinky to have back.
I learned my lesson though, and now I hold on to everything that is reliable. I still buy odds and ends just for resale.

My first gun was a Remington 597, sold last summer to replace my blue-screen-of-death laptop.

Yep - a Glenfield Model 60 .22 rifle I bought from a pawn shop when I was 16. Still have it, and it still shoots great! Won't ever get rid of it.

"Do you still own it?" Nope, traded it in.
"Do you wish you still did?" Nope.
"What was it, and what would you do to have it back, or what would it take to get it away from you?"
Glock 17 used as trade credit for a Ruger SP101 3", and there's nothing I would do to go back to the killer tupperware.

I didn't read all the replys. But I'm sure I'm not the first to say another choice is needed in the poll. "Yes, and I'll die with it." Or "Yes, and I'll never get rid of it."
Stevens 311- Series G, 20 ga. The stock had ~4 inches cut off so that my little butt could shoulder it. I later used a piece of 1/8" oak for filler where the saw blade cut, and put the cut off piece back on the original stock. Refinished back to original with Golden Oak Stain.
If my kids want to keep this gun, they'll have to pull it out of the coffin before they cover me up. Otherwise I'll be looking for a covey of quail outside of the gates.

Savage .22lr rifle when I was 6. Still have it, belonged to my great-grandfather and my grandfather who give it to me. I will part with it as soon as my son is old enough to graduate from an air rifle.

No, Winchester Model 52
Stolen when my house was burglarized in Idaho Falls, ID, June 1983. The theives also took my Nylon 66 and 77, food and sleeping bags. They left behind two bolt-action Mausers, one was Japanese, I forget the other.
I really would like the Model 52 back.

It was a Dan Wesson 2.5" Model 15-2 in .357 that I eventually added a 6" barrel to it. No, I don't still have it and Yes, I do regret selling it. I bought it back in 1980-81

MY fist gun was a savage 22. I shot is so much I had to have it repaired (Firing pun, spring, ejector, etc.) 2 times. The 2nd time the gunsmith said, just get a new one, for what it would cost to fix this one.
So I did.

stevens bolt action clip fed 20 gauge.
still got it, still drag it out from time to time.
has killed more rabbits, birds (quail, pheasants, etc..) squirrels, yotes than I can remember.
it kicks like a mule because of a poorly designed stock and the clip release is worn and will drop out of the gun from time to time (I have a built in habit to just put supporting hand way back on forearm to hold the clip).
I am so used to this gun from shooting it all my life i rarely miss with it and folks laugh when I drag it to the range along with my citori (total ends of the spectrum with teh citori being a deluxe model o/u $2k gun)when i shoot clays and I end up out shooting them with the old stevens and their jaws drop

I have a Winchester .410 single shotgun which I am told was purchased for me by my maternal grandfather before I was born. I do remember all through my childhood that as I looked through the glass doors of the gun cabinet in the home where I grew up - that I was told that "that" gun was mine and that I could have it when I was older.
I began hunting with it when I was 10 or 11, on trips with my father. I have it now in a gun cabinet here at my house - with some other shotguns. I never take it out of the cabinet unless I'm showing it to others. I have not fired it in at least 15 years.
My grandfather willed me several other guns when he passed, such as a Model 36 J-frame, an 870 Wingmaster 12ga, an 1870 Springfield rifle, a model 700 .30-06, a Winchester 1897 16 gauge and a couple other antique guns. Even with that however, of all my worldly posessions, that .410 Winchester is my most prized one.
I told my wife if this house ever starts to burn down to make sure she gets my laptop, the external hard drive on my desk and that .410 out of here before anything else.

The first gun I ever fired was a Sig 9mm pistol my dad rented for me at a range. I liked it because it fit my hand very well. I just wish I remembered the model number. The first gun I ever bought was a Remington 870 12ga. Don't think I'll ever part with it.
