What was your first pistol/rifle/shotgun ever owned?

[OneLungMcClung]

I hope this isn't a rehash but I searched and couldn't find a thread like this.

So what was the first pistol you ever owned?
Rifle?
Shotgun?
And just for grins - any of you with NFA should list your first SBR, rDIAS, Machine Gun, Silencer, WMD

Fer me:
Pistol - Springfield Armory 1911A1 GI.
She became a safe queen and I traded her to a friend for a CETME G3

Rifle - Remington 700 PSS
Accurate as hell - But been in the safe since I came to Philly. I need to find a range that takes rifles...

Shotty - Remy 870
Locked and cocked and ready to rock! - this is my burglar alarm.

First handgun....Polish P64 9x18 (Factory grips cracked, not sure how? but replaced then with these)



First and only shotgun, Remington 870 with many many modifications. Shoots great, easily controlled, and not bad recoil

First rifle was an ancient single shot bolt action .22 when I was 9 or 10. I don't remember the brand or model...but it was old when given to me (Daisy?). My Dad used to shoot squirrel with this rifle...he just loved squirrel.

First handgun was a Dan Wesson Model 15-2V (.357 Magnum w/ a 4" barrel) purchased in the early 70's.

First (and only) shottie is a Mossberg 500 Persuador I bought in the mid 90's.

I've only owned handguns, except for an air rifle for plinking. First handgun was a Taurus PT-92 9MM. Fine gun.

[Xringshooter]

First Shotgun (also first firearm) and I still have it: JC Higgins bolt action 16 ga. 2 3/4 chamber, 1963
First Rifle: Marlin lever action, 32 Win Special, 1965
First DA Revolver: Ruger Security Six, 357Mag, 6" bbl, 1974
First SA Revolver: Ruger Super Single Six .22/.22 Mag, 2006 (still have)
First Pistol: Ruger Mark I .22, 4", FS, 1976
First Centerfire Pistol: S&W 5906, 1990 (still have)
First AR15: Armalite AR15A2, 2006 (still have)

Many have come and gone over the years. Some I regret selling, some were used to trade or to get something different. I guess that's the nature of those that love firearms.

My first firearm ever was a wasr-10 AK. Then about thre weeks later I got my first handgun, a Taurus PT 24/7 9mm.
No shotgun yet, infact I have never fired a shotgun.

My first ever 'shooter' was a spring-powered BB gun. It cocked by compressing the barrel into the 'receiver' wooden stock. Pretty accurate. (I wish I could find someone who knew what make it was.)

First deer rifle was a Winchester Model 71 lever action in .348. I inherited her three years ago.

The first shotgun I fired was a JC Higgins double-barrel 16 gauge. I have that too.

A 30 cal coax on an M-48 Patton tank was the first belt-fed weapon I fired. (M-60 7.62 NATO [all time favorite], .50 cal, M-14 in 7.62 NATO, M-16 5.56, AK-47 7.62x39.)

A 90 mm, 105mm & 152mm, rifled tank rounds.

And a Redeye shoulder-fired heat-seeking anti-aircraft missile, fired on two separate times at drones. (Talk about a rush.)
