Your first gun. What was it?

[Hueco]

Baretta PX4 Storm in .40. I learned late in life compared to most y'all.

I was stupid accurate with it…wish I still had it but it, along with a P238HD and a 10/22 got sold to help fund the move from Phoenix up to to the PNW.

I still have it...
My grandpa's 1962 870 Wingmaster....28 inch barrel with a Modified choke.
I take it hunting every year...it has accounted for squirrel , rabbit and grouse.

As side note....
I thought you were looking for your first gun ....

This post of yours implies that you are new to guns and want to get a shotgun...not that you already have one....

Yes I am . My dad bought it for me when I was 14 or so. I'm counting this as my first gun because I'm going to be using my own money and going to the shop and buying by myself.

I got decent with that 1911 and was really disappointed when I found out I would have to carry a Glock when I got my first gig. After 24 hours of classroom time and 40 hours of range time, I was pretty sure I would never need another handgun besides a Glock 22.

Mossberg 500. The day I turned 18.

Taurus PT111 the day I turned 21.

I could definitely use some more training on it.

More like, "seeing the light".

 

[Ducati_Meister]

My first gun was a Mossberg 500 pump 20 Ga. shotgun. Then the first rifle was a CZ 452 .22LR bolt gun and then, my first handgun was a Glock 17 Gen. 3.

Finding the ammo it prefers is the key

Distilled. Always go pure.

Astra a70 9mm bought it in the early 90s for $300 had to sell it, same shop gave me $280 for it 3 years later.
Kind of want to find another.

My first gun was a 10ga Mossberg for goose hunting. I went once with it and had enough of that. Shortly after was gifted a Barreta 391 that I've put a few thousand rounds through. I'm thinking of getting the 10ga cut down to 18.5" for the lulz.

I'll give you a hundred bucks for the mossberg.

Lol

I think that's about what I paid for it.

Yeah, but a hundred is barely worth $20 nowadays.

Marlin 783 .22 magnum. No I don't still have it. The CB craze hit in the mid 70s and I had to be talking to my classmates and others on the air so I sold it to Milt (can't remember his last name) who owned the pawn shop in Central Point near Medford. Been regretting it for 30 years now. Would love to go back and train again on it. Been trying for years to find a NIB or LNIB on GB, but no luck yet.

Checking my firearm list:
CZ52, Hipoint 995 and a Pardner Pump.
It was a little while before the gun bug bit..

But those three were my very first firearms. All basically within weeks or months of each other. Basically the cheapest stuff I could get.

I dont own any of those original ones anymore. But I repurchased the NEF pardner pumps. Decent cheap shotguns. Gave one to my dad a long while ago.

 

[Capn Jack]

Nothing fancy. Just a bolt action 20GA. Mail order from Sears...

Way back in the day...

 

[OutwardHound]

Technically speaking, my 'first gun' was an M-16. I had to give it back to Uncle Sam.
The first gun I purchased is the S&W Model 28 .357 that I still have today. Not pretty, not a 'tack driver' but plenty accurate for home defense or woods carry.

As stated in the linked post below, the first guns I fired were rifles and shotguns. But they weren't actually mine. They all belonged to the Grand Sobo.
As far as my first personally-owned firearm, it would have to be this one...
