lunker 274 Posted January 30, 2012 Revolver - S&W 686-1 (1999) - gone Pistol - Colt Commander Series 80 (2000) - gone Rifle - Marlin 1894 Lever 44mag (2008) - gone Shotgun - Mossberg 500 Pump (2008) - gone The only one I would want back now is the Colt Commander (the parkerized one from the 90's with the big ugly rollmark on the slide). I started out buying what other people recommended I buy. Hopefully i am finally at the point where I only am buying things I know I will keep. We'll see.

Kaiser7 33 Posted January 30, 2012 Mine was a Savage MKII .22LR. I bought it May20th or 30th I believe. I bought it about 3 hours after picking up my FID. I still have it, though I do sometimes consider trying to trade it for a lever .22. Just the fact that it was my first gun makes it hard to consider doing that though. My first centerfire was my VZ24 I bought of J0n. Got it at a great deal, and never regretted it. I do wish I got to shoot it more. And that's all the guns I own, until I can find a nice semi-auto rifle, which is what I'm looking for now. Then, I'll get a shotgun. Don't care much for pistols, but when I turn 21 I'm planning on maybe getting a Five-seveN, or a Luger. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caine 147 Posted January 31, 2012 Rifle - Flobert rimfire bolt action rifle -1982 (I have no idea where it is nowadays... I left it back in Europe, where I lived as a kid) I was gonna put that as my first gun as well (altho the timeline was probably closer to the early 90s for me), but it was a present and I wasn't sure it "counted"... not to mention I wasn't sure if it's technically a rifle or a shotgun. Mine is also sitting in a closet in Europe I've been trying to find one here, but all I find is the 9mm ammo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
