Your 1st Gun (sentimental value)

First gun for me at age 12 was a Savage 99 in 308. Its the first and only lever gun I've shot. Its also the first gun that I still have the scar from not getting my finger out of the trigger guard at the correct time.

I blame my father since he is a lefty and I'm not.

My first was a Glock 30. I've since moved on to more ergonomic guns, but I'll always have a fondness for the G30.

Still have mine, Marlin 336 RC. Got it for my 12th birthday.

This is the 1st pistol I got at 16yrs old from my grandfather
It is a Stevens Model 35 .22 Short, Long and Long RIfle

This is my 1st rifle
It is a Ranger 101.16 .22LR which is the same as a Savage 87
I got this at 13 from my grandfather

I still have both and they shoot well

Same here, Model 25, now my kids use it once in a while. Here's the manual for the older model 25, if anyone needs it:

My first was a Rem 760BDL Pump in .270. Got it when I was 13 for Christmas from my Mom and Grandfather. Still the only centerfire deer rifle I own. I love that rifle. Beautiful basket weave checkering and high gloss finish.

My first was this little Taurus Millenium PT111 9mm. Got about 800 rounds through it so far without a single problem.

Winchester 1908 22. Still have the original canvas bag.

My grandfather bought it, not really sure when, had it on the farm in Chester County.

been shooting it since I was a little kid. Still have it.

First gun I bought was a 12 gauge winchester semi auto. It's in storage, I really need to get it out. bought it at Woolworth's when they were getting out of the gun business, I think I was maybe 19 or 20, and that was SOME time ago. (like 30+ years)

Googled a photo of the winchester, it's not mine, which is also in storage right now.

Colt Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless in .380ACP. Bought it for $90 in 1977 from a co-worker who had just opened a gun shop in MD. It was also his first gun, but I don't know how long he had it. Unfortunately, he re-blued it so no collector value but at least I get to shoot it! I researched the serial number, and mine was built around 1915.
