First gun ever bought

[Jess B. Guy]

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!

First pistol I bought? My Colt 1911 - got it on my CCW permit. Haven't done much to it over the years, still runs like a champ.

[Pretty fly for a Cabinetguy]

I keep all of my guns...my two boys will have some nice shooters...

[Jet Setter]

Sold them both - someone wanted them more than I did

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 it. Kept it for the longest time for the nostalgia factor, but nowadays I don't keep anything I don't like using.

Kimber 1911, after 5k shot. I still have it

[norcalAF]

Bought my first rifle 10/22 and shotgun 870 youth 20 guage at the ripe old age of 12. I still have them both. First pistol was a FNH FNP9 USG, got rid of that a while back. Still have my first revolver a Match Champion .357, that one isn't going anywhere.

[Donkeypunch0420]

Maverick 88. Was a broke teenager when I bought it in the late 90's. Thought about selling it a few times over the years, but it's worth more to me than the $150 - $200 I'd be able to get for it. It's here for the long haul.

Edit: misread the topic. I don't even remember what my first pistol was. I owned too many rifles by that time already.
