First gun I've purshased was my S&W 908 about 8 months ago after i obtained my LTC. Before that i was shooting my dad's winchester 12ga. pump and Marlin 35 lever action.... Of which both will soon be in my safe he doesn't shoot anymore.

Swedish Mauser in 1992 for 115 bucks and I still have it.

Kirkwoods....that takes me back. I remember going in there with my dad when I was probably 6 or 7 (ca. 1970). There was a poster on the wall, with a arm sticking out of a pond, holding a shotgun. It read, "Come Hell or High Water".

Funny... I figured that the Lady in the Lake would be holding out an M1 Garand if she ever gave up on Excalibur.

1976. 2-1/2" S&W model 19, .357 mag, in Nickel. Adj sights, round butt grip; I put Herrett's grips on it, made a huge difference.

Look sorta like the one in the upper right?

AFAIK, the serial number dates to 1975 or so... maybe it's yours? Remember the serial number?

 

[FSTC]

Ruger 10/22 from KTP. 1 month after my 18th birthday. Still have the gun,

 

[qmmo]

4" S&W Model 10 in the spring/summer of 1974 from Lew Horton's in Framingham (when they had a "retail" store). Sold it a long time ago.

 

[ranger4-7]

Ruger Mini-14 back in 1981. I wanted an actual M-14, but that was a close as I could come as a high school student.

First I pad for (father purchased) was either my Finnish M39 or my Charles Daley 12 ga semi. I cant remember which came first.

First I bought myself was years after I was able to buy my own: M&P40c and a Star PD at the same time.

Since then I've been making up for the lost time in strides. Damn C&R license.

 

[paracarry]

First rifle, an Ithaca lever action .22, First pistol S&W model 19 .357 .

 

[Nikos]

M1 Garand in 1978, I still have it.

 

[timbo]

Marlin Glenfield Mod 25 22LR Bolt action...I still have it 40 years later...

 

[JRyan]

G17. I traded it for a Sig 226, which is an awesome gun as well. Crap, now I have to buy a G17.

 

[wildwest]

First purchase was a double .. M&P40 and sr9c.

BHP. Also, it's the gun that I hated most and the only gun I have ever sold. A good buddy bought it and loves it, so I still see its ugly-ass from time to time (the gun, not my buddy)

 

[gixxer_kid]

G26 from my brother then an DPMS lo-pro classic a few hours later.

 

[Delta L Varmint]

I inherited a Stevens .22 tube fed bolt gun and a Winchester .22 single shot bolt gun. I think the Stevens might still work, but I haven't tried yet...
The first one I bought was a SW9VE. That POS was enough to scare anyone away from shooting, sold it on consignment and didn't loose a dime though.

 

[P-14]

Ruger 10/22 in 1983. I still own it.

 

[rivethead147]

1911

 

[Tony2Times]

G17. I traded it for a Sig 226, which is an awesome gun as well. Crap, now I have to buy a G17.

I have a gen2 G17 with two preban hi cap 17 rd mags if your interested!

 

[codenamepaul]

Matched pair of AR-15's one Sporter, one CAR in 9mm. Both Colts. 750 bucks for the pair in 1985. Sold them when I joined the Marines because my little brother couldn't be trusted with a spork at the time. To this day I regret that sale. I have sold 2 other guns since, one because I had 3 and the other was my second carry gun. It's now the new owner's first carry gun. I have vowed to never sell another gun again because I had to.

 

[60 buckscash]

The first one I bought was a Ruger 10/22 at Wallyworld for $140. I still have this gun and I love it! I plan on keeping it forever.

 

[Sniper977]

The first one I personally bought was my S&W model 41. Such a fantastic firearm, especially with my Aimpoint on it.
