Your first gun and do you still have it?

Mine was a Colt Detective Special out of the 60's. It has been long gone now as it was traded towards a Python about 20 years ago.

My first gun was an ancient (I mean ANCIENT) .22 single shot bolt action .22 rifle. Long gone now...but my sister's family may have it somewhere.
My first purchased gun was a Dan Wesson Model 15-2V .357 Mag revolver. Sold/traded that one for a Glock 17L back in 1987. I still have the Glock.

My first gun was a Marlin 336C in .35 cal. I started hunting sixteen years ago and this was the gun I started with. I have since moved on to a Remington 700 for hunting but the Marlin is still being used by my first son. Eventually it will be passed on to my other two sons as each son starts purchasing their own rifles.

My very first gun was Chinese SKS that I bought for $80 back in late 94 or early 95.

Wish I kept it. But I needed a new tire for my car...

Remington 7600 pump action 30-06 that I got back in 91/92. Yes, I still have it but haven't shot it for a good number of years.

I was in my mid 20's when I bought my first firearm. I didn't know a lot about guns, so I worked with the salesman. I'm glad I listened to him.

It's a 6" blue factory-tuned Colt Python.

Do I still have it? Silly question!

Mine was a new Marlin level action chambered in 35 Remington. Bought that around 1987 and around 1991 traded it for two month's rent on my apartment when I was in college.

My 2nd gun was a 22LR revolver which got stolen out of that same apartment.

My 3rd gun was a Remington 700 which I still have, got that the day I got out of college.
