What was your first firearm?

[c pierce]

My dad bought my first gun for me when i was 12. A win model 61 whith a routledge barrel. I SOLD IT at 16 for school clothes I have lived that for many years.

Mine was - no lie - an M1 Garand...

It all depends, M-1 Carbine issued, bought a Ruger Single Six in the 1950's. Spad

My first gun was a two-tone Sig P229 tritium nightsites + crimson trace.

First one I shot - ironically it was a Ruger P89, which I'm also not too thrilled with either.

Marlin 80 22. It took shorts and LR, but the mag only fed LR. Great gun. Left it with a landlord when I left school and never went back to pick it up. :-|

A Remington Nylon 66 .22 LR, -- it was a remarkable shade of green and was incredibly reliable. A 12th birthday present from my dad...

"MY" first (first one I bought for me) was a Ruger P89.

First gun ever bought was a Magtech .22lr. I went to GIJoes to buy a BB to go play around with, and they were $89, the magtech rifle was $99 so the real gun it was. It was only the second time I had ever shot, I thought i was so cool that I had a semi automatic rifle with 10 rounds(my family is very anti gun).

Revelation (Mossburg 500) .410 pump when I was 8. Used it for duck hunting back before the days of steel shot. First duck I shot with it...banded drake Wood duck...my dad mounted it for me and today it watches over my gun safe, along with several other deceased critters.

 

[Spray-n-pray]

The first I ever had was a S&W (victory) model 10 that belonged to my Grandfather. My dad passed it down to me.

 

[PlayboyPenguin]

In my family you get your first rifle at the age of 8 years old. Mine was a Marlin 60 .22lr semi-auto.

J. Stevens Arms Co. Model Squirrel .22 . Was 7, had shot shells. Went quail hunting with dad, carried the bb gun instead cause it was lighter. To this day I've still killed more quail with .177 cal than anything else, course, ain't been quail hunting since junior high. Now that it's past the statute of limitations, is it illegal to shoot em on the ground in AZ?
