What was your first gun

[M1XdColt]

For me my first pistol I ever got was a Springfield Xd Subcompact40. Rifle was a Arsenal sgl 23. Shotgun was a Mossberg500 20Ga all- purpose wood stock. RimFire was a Marlin model 60SB. At the age 25.

First was the S&W 1500 (Howa Action) 30.06 that my dad bought me for deer hunting when I was 15 (1978). Still have it. Then I bought my first pistol at 18 from a co-worker. Ruger Blackhawk in .45 colt. Sadly, I traded it away and got ripped off on some engine parts a couple years later.

Erma werke m1 .22 carbine. From my old man when i was young. Lost the screw that hold the rear sight in, but it has dovetail mounts so it carries a scope now. It can fire out of battery, the first time ive ever experienced that! Thankfully its just a .22! If i ever had to sell off my collection, this is the gun i would keep, my only one with sentimental value. (But who am i kidding, i would sell a kidney before my guns!)

Pistol:
High Standard Sport King .22 semi-auto, 4" Barrel. Got it from an ad in the local paper. I still have it, though I did upgrade from the plastic grips to some walnut ones I bought from High Standard here in Houston.

Rifle: Remington Model 12-A pump .22. Dad came home from visiting a friend of his whose son had passed away a couple years before. The old man found the .22 rotting away in the corner of his garage and wanted it gone because he hated guns and it always irritated him that his son had it. He asked 20 bucks for it. A fool and his gun are soon parted. I still have that one, too.

Shotgun: Mossberg 500 in 12gauge that I bought at the Best Products catalog store in Fresno at the beginning of the sale when they were getting out of the gun business. I paid the princely sum of $100 plus tax and yes, I left with it that very day. They didnt have the waiting period for long guns yet.
That purchase led me to get my first centerfire rifle, too. A couple weeks later, they increased the percent-off discount at the store on the remaining stock, which was down to 2 rifles when I got there. They had a Winchester 70 in 30-06 and a Remington 700 in .270. I had always wanted a .270, and I really tried to like the 700, but after trying out both, and pawing and them and general gun-fondling, I bought the Winnie for (if I remember right) about 225 out the door. I still to this day, about 30 years later, have not owned a .270! A
And yes, I still have both of those, too!

My first handgun was a High Standard Double Nine, 22 LR revolver. I bought it from a coworker when I was in the USAF in Sacramento when I was about 18. It was a total POS but I upgraded it not too long afterwards.

For my 21st birthday, I bought my first new pistol, a Colt Trooper MKIII in 22 LR. This was when they were being closed out due to the MKV being introduced and it was very cheap (about half what the MKVs were going for at the time). Both are long gone.

First pistol was an S&W Mod 19 .357 - beautiful shiny blue 6 inch, target trigger, hammer, etc. I was 18. Sold it 5 years ago - was in need of some fast cash. Have regretted it (and have been searching for a replacement) ever since. Pistol looked just like anothergunnut's avatar.
Second was a Rem 870 Wingmaster from KMart. Bought it and a box of shells on the same day. Still have the 870.

[DazedandConfuzed]

Got my first firearm at age 9. Ithaca Super Single in 410 ga. Went hunting with my Dad, Grandfather, and cousin. Still have it.

Bought my first rifle as soon as I turned 18 (1980). Glenfield (Marlin) model 60. Still have it.

Bought my first handgun in 1985. Taurus model 66, .357 mag. Still have it.

Ruger Mini 14. Paid $300 for it in 2004. Sold it in 2009 to fund my one and only AR build. Wish I had kept that Mini 14.

[craneman]

Glenfield Marlin mod 60 .22lr. My Dad gave it to me for my 10th birthday. At least I think it was my 10th, I can't remember for sure. I still have it, well technically I still have it. I gave it to my grandson, but keep it in my safe for when we go shooting.

[TKM]

M1 Garand. My Opa helped me hold it up.

He brought home a lot of goodies from Iwo Jima and Hiroshima.

[417atty]

My first handgun was a Ruger Mk 1 that my dad gave me for my 13th birthday. I still have it and will hand it down to my son.

My first rifle was a stainless Mini-14 that I ordered out of the Sears catalog in the early 80s. Those were the days...

[billped]

First gun was a .410 shotgun, forget which one (hey, it's been 40 years and dad has it). First as an adult was a Sig P226.

[hntnnut]

Kmart model 54 .410 single shot made by Boito in Brazil. year was 1979 and I was 8. Had a red rider at the age of 4. First gun I bought with my own money was a Winchester model 94 30-30 that I got at the age of 10. with my paper route money for 160.00.
