How Many of You Still Have your First Gun

[jcreamer]

I still have mine...JC Higgins Bolt Action 410 still fires like a rifle.. Used to use it for squirrels. Still clean it once a month. I still enjoy shooting it.

[drhnter]

it's a bolt action Remington 22, I got when I was 10 years old back in 1963 44 years ago all I have done is mount a little 4x scope on it and it still shoots great..once shot a ground hog at over 150 yards with it :eek: :spam:

[Railroader]

I got mine, a Browning .22 Autoloader...

[johnnyleo11]

Still have mine. Entire 8 weeks old too.

Sig P226R in stainless. Meow.

Thing shoots a whole lot better and a lot smoother than the beretta 9mm I used to shoot at the range when I was doing L/E.

[sandcruiser]

Spanish made Dakin 28 gage double barrel upland bird shotgun. It came in a wooden box with red velvet lining. I took that baby apart and cleaned it like a soldier as a boy...still do today.
Hang on to em fellas.
Nice weapon Johnny

[Blackbird]

Still got mine-a Ruger 22 cal auto, sporting model with the 4 1/2" barrel I bought for camping trips & plinking, back in 1965. Actually shoots almost as well as other target pistols twice the price, and indestructable. Taught my daughter how to shoot with it. A great little piece that will shoot 9 rounds in under three seconds.:D

[oldsalt]

16 gage double barrel Western Field 1951;)

[Big Rad]

22 Hornet with the 5 round magazine and octogonal barrel.

[BLUESMAN]

I killed more small game with that gun than anything else I've ever owned. And a few ducks!

[babz369]

16g. 1965 can clear brush or a hallway very effective

[booboo]

still got it - a 12 gauge Browning Belgian made gold trigger automatic. Dad bought it for me when I was 10. Don't get to us it much any more. I'm addicted to fishing now!:fishing:

[Smoothbore54]

Mines a lever action Winchester .22 that I got for my 8th birthday, in 1962.

And I've got my Dads 16 ga. Ithica model 37R Deluxe.

And His Dads Winchester 12 ga. model 1897 pump. ( Bought in 1916 with money from trapping. )

And Great Granddads Ansley H. Fox 20 ga. double. ( Shot my first Squirrel with it. )

Oh yeah, and my Moms Belgian Browning 20 ga. A-5.

And Her Dads Colt "Woodsman" .22 pistol.

And I'll have them all until the day I die.

Sadly, I don't have any offspring to inherit them. :(

[VICIII]

single shot 20 gauge. My son first gun also and will be my 2nd sons also and my 3rd sons as well then they have to draw straws....

[jcreamer]

I thought that I would have to use mine a couple weeks ago. I have a 94 Z28 Camaro that I am working on and I came home and A stranger had the cover off and was starting to look at it, When I asked what the hell he was doing his reply "I saw that it sits around a lot so I thought you might have it up for sale." I said that one I drive it when I want and to get the f --- out of my yard.
He came back a little later and said that one of my neighbors told him about the car. I had words with my neighbor too.

[Al Kai]

Yes, I still have mine. Winchester model 94 30-30.

[fisherkid]

But I got a Walther P22 for my birthday, in June. Since it's kept at my fathers house when my mother takes me to the range I usually rent a 9mm. I've shot the Glock 17 and a Sig, I think a p228.

[marstang50]

Still got my Mossburg 20ga. youth model dad gave me when i was 13. Killed my first and biggest deer with it. Still great for rabbit hunt'n, light and quick.

[Malakas07]

someday I'll give my son my Henry Pump action .22

Used a whole paycheck from Wendy's to get it.

[Carolina Rebel]

New England Firearms Pardner 20 ga., got it for Christmas when I was 8. I remember finding the case for it by my sister's new bike and thinking I got a case for my pellet rifle, then I picked it up, felt the weight and dropped it out of excitement. That gun has killed tons of squirrels, doves, crows, a deer, a couple feral cats, and lots of cans and bottles. It made my shoulder turn all kinds of nasty colors when I first got it but I was shooting 3" magnum 00 buckshot by the time I was 9, haha I learned quickly to hold it tight to my shoulder. I wouldn't trade that gun for anything, not that its worth alot to anyone else anyway. I have a hard time selling a gun period, the 20 ga., my .30/30 (first rifle, gun I used to shoot my first 15 or so deer), any of the .22s I've recieved over the years, I couldn't picture any of them ever leaving my possession.

Nice sig. Shot a p229 today. Hows the recoil on a 40?

[aricecake1]

issued to me when i join mpdc in 1975. They sold them to us when we got the GLOCKs

[TreednNC]

Yep. Got every gun Ive ever owned....Guns are a one way trip. I dont get rid of em.
1st was give to me by my grandpaw....1940 something Remington 510 Target Master single shot .22.....I was a year old, my dad went over there one night and my grandpaw had it broke down and was cleaning it, said he HAD to get it cleaned and fixed up to give to me that night. Didnt get it back together that night. Died the next day. They said there were alot of things he was in a hurry to get done those few days before he died, like he knew another heart attack was coming, and it did. Dad put it back together. They'll have to kill me before they take that one away.

[Fly Wacko]

.410/22 Over/Under. I was 10 at the time, 1954, and was the bane of all rabbits and squirles in the area. Even nailed a few Quail and the odd duck with it.

Still have it. Now the Grandkids use it.

Muscle memory is pretty good, so no problems.

[HuskyMD]

Been thinking about getting a gun...would be my first. Thinking about some recreational deer hunting, think I should go for a semi-automatic machine gun?

[Big Rad]

A shotgun in the delectable chambering of twelve(12) guage. Many folks believe that the distinctive sound of the chambering of a round, produced by a pump action, makes the double duty (home defense) such a weapon can perform more rewarding;) ;) ;).

[HuskyMD]

Did you all hear about the teenager who went on a rampage in a mall in Utah? One of the people shot was my second cousin. He survived but has buckshot all throughout his backside....:mad:

I was just joking about the machine gun bit in case anyone doesn't figure that out...:D

[fisherkid]

Sorry to hear about your cousin. All the best.

As for the gun, I don't hunt so I don't know.

Haha,that must be in reference to the Zumbo thing about the assault weapon ban.

And filling up an entire hallway full of shot is bound to hit something rather than throwing something down the hall the size of a chiclet.
