what was your first?

[ASM80]

My first gun at 11 was a NEF single shot 20 gauge. That following summer I received a Ruger 10/22 carbine. My first handgun was a Beretta 92FS.

I wish i still had that 20 gauge. As far as I know it's still at my mothers somewhere rusting to death. Might be time to clean Ma's basement!

My first was a Savage 22 lr over .410. I loved killing squirrels with that gun. It was a good starter and I still have hoping my kids may want to shoot it some day.

 

[dneidFIST]

Winchester M94 30/30. Still have it but have never shot it.

 

[Mooseman]

The first gun I bought was a Ruger 10/22 Carbine, used. The first pistol I bought was a Ruger P85, new. I still have both.

[Bullfrog]

Taurus PT 1911

Great decision.

Has been flawless with factory mags and Wilson 47d's. One hiccup with a cheap Promag (returned and never will buy another, details here if you want 'em).

Far more reliable than the RIA Tactical I bought later.
