First gun ever bought

[tsmithson]

357 MAG Colt Trooper MK5. Gun was stolen the first year I got it. I learned from that experience to never love an object. Went out and bought another one but we just stayed friends this time.

Sold them both - someone wanted them more than I did

Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mark I (t), with scope. $20.00 in 1963. About the same time I bought a DCM carbine for $17.50 (plus $2.50 for shipping). Sold the Lee for $100.00 in 1965 when I started college. Had to pay tuition - no free student loans in those days.
Sold the carbine around 1970 - had to buy a Model 19 2.5 inch for $150.00!

Glock 17 was my first pistol, it’s been almost 3 years so I haven’t had it long but I doubt I’ll ever sell any of my guns. My son will have a few cool pieces when I die lol

[sigstroker]

Sold it. Colt Govt Model .45. It was crappy and I realized how dumb .45 was.

[elSquid]

CZ-75 bought in the late 80s. Sold it during a move.

Regrets? I sold a P7 PSP once...kinda wish I had that one back.

First pistol was a Glock 17. I’ll never sell it. It’s the most trusted firearm I own. It’s on my night stand every night, I wear it on my hip during hunting season and I carry it concealed in the colder months.


First firearm I ever purchased was a Mossberg 500 Flex. Sold it less than a year later because I couldn’t trust it as a home defense firearm. I put 75-100 rounds through it and I had around 10 malfunctions.
