FIRST GUN.....???? What was your VERY FIRST FIREARM???

[robert_smi2]

Mine was a S&W 38 special revolver w/ 3" barrel for $50. I bought it when I was 16 from a flea market. Had it for 2 weeks then traded it for an SKS. Then 2 weeks later traded the SKS for a honda 400 motorcycle. Hell of a good trader when I was younger.

Dad gave me a Sears 20 gauge single shot when I was 10 or 11, and a Ruger 10/22 a couple years later. Best thing he could have done for an outdoor loving country boy...

My first firearm was a Marlin .22 LR magazine fed bolt action rifle, for $49. The second was a 4" High Standard .22 LR 9 shot double action revolver, for $39. My wife had to buy it because I was only 20 and couldn't. She was 21.

Many guns have come and gone since then (1972), but the old gal is still with me!! Married 42 years!!

Glock 22

I've had three of them. I don't know why I kept getting rid of them, only to turn around and buy another one. The last time I got the itch for another, they only had a 23. So, that's what I scratched my Glock itch with. I think I like it better than the 22...

A 870 12 gauge when I was 11-12. My dad made me shoot some 3" buckshot to see if I could handle it. Still got it 15 years later and won't get rid of it ever. Its killed a whole bunch of rabbits, squirrels, deer, and ducks. And I just can't get into any shotgun but that one. I've had several other others but got rid of them. That 870 does everything I need a shotgun to do.
