What was the first gun you bought yourself as an adult?

[ghanderson10]

Taurus PT140 Pro...not a bad gun, but traded for a Model 85.

 

[USMC1911]

At 18 it was a stainless 10/22. First handgun at 21 was a ruger p95dc only have the 22 now. First hunting rifle (14) was a 30 carbine.

Ruger P85, back in about 1986 or 7.

**** 18yrs old ... that was 25 years ago... do you know how many different firearms I've owned and shot in that time... think it was a S&W model 19 357mag...

Sounds like we're the same age... scary how quickly those 25 years have gone by!

What's "flame-cutting"?

 

[tac]

What's "flame-cutting"?

Flame-cutting - using an oxy-acetylene gas torch to slice up your prized handgun - is what happened most of all the guns that taken from us in 1997.

Senseless. So many priceless heirlooms permanently destroyed by a government in place only temporarily. May they come to their senses sooner than later. Aussieland too.

 

[BlvdKing]

Mine was a Beretta 9mm around 95'

 

[Tactical SS]

Benelli Nova Tactical - Had it since I was 18. Not only my first gun I bought as an adult, but my first gun ever.

 

[sweetnsauer]

Savage 93r17. 17HMR, bluing is already gone, and now Im working on the kimber, but stainless is harder to wear off...

 

[pirateer2007]

My parents bought me a winchester 1200 12ga when I was 10, and then a 10ga Browning BPS in wetlands camo as a graduation gift. The first pistol I bought for myself was a S&W 915 and my first rifle I bought was a Colt 6920.

 

[needs2hunt]

nice sks but you posted it already in the thread.... post # 49...

 

[solowars]

RUGER 10/22T stainless with butler creek double palm swell stock. One hole at 100 yards with 25 rounds of Weighed cci stingers. But sadly i sold her to fund my RRA EOP 24' varmint upper.

I weigh my rimfire to weed out flyers. most dont know to do that like with the 22 mag, you would be surpised how much it helps.

First hand gun was a S&W 686 snub nose. Sold her too

 

[9MilMan]

Beretta 92FS, because I shoot one in the Air Force and wanted to be better next time I went to qualify.

 

[RAWII]

A 9mm Arrcus (Bulgarian) a Browning Hi Power clone. It was a blast to shoot and very accurate. Sold it to my Uncle so I still get to see it.

 

[the4thshake]

When I turned 18 I bought a Winchester Defender in 12ga and threw a pistol grip on it. I kind of wish I wouldn't have got rid of it. If you can find one they go for way more then i i paid for it back then. It was sold to a buddy when I turned 21 to buy a Taurus PT111 in 9mm.

 

[chentz]

I was an Army MP and loved the Government .45's...but wanted something a little better to shot for fun.
My first gun as an adult was a 70 series Colt Gold Cup bought in 1982. Still have it and it's still a great handgun.

HOOAH!
