Mine was a bolt action .22 rifle, but for the life of me I cannot remember the brand or what ever happened to it.
I can't imagine why my memory about it is so weak...it was only 50 or so years(and probably 150 guns)ago...

Remington 22 given by my father at age 6, still in family with oldest son and shoots very well as of a week ago. PS: I am 66.

Bolt action single-shot Savage .22lr. Got it Christmas of 1976 when I was 12. I haven't shot it since the early 80s. It had a saftey that automatically engaged after every shot so I assume it was some sort of "youth" model but I don't remember for sure.
I believe it currently resides in the attic of my mother's house.

My first 'experience' with any type of firearm was when my dad had me shoot both his .22 long rifle and then his 12 gauge shotgun at the young age of 7...I remember that the shotgun knocked me onto my butt! LOLOriginally Posted by Malakai Christoff
The very first handgun that I ever shot was at the age of 9, It was my dads pocket gun, a Beretta .25 auto. I'll never forget that little Beretta because it left me with a permanent scar on my right thumb knuckle when the slide bit me real good. OUCH!
The very first sidearm that I ever bought for myself as an adult (age 21) was a Beretta 92F 9mm -w- 15 round magazines. I kept that Beretta for only a short while, because soon afterwards I purchased my very first Glock (Glock 21).
The Glock was so accurate right out of the box and it just 'felt so right' to me that I ended up trading the Beretta with a friend/co-worker for a very sweet Blued Steel Colt King Cobra -w- 6" Barrel.
21 years later and I still have both the Glock 21 & the King Cobra, and they still look & shoot like new.

.22 semi auto rifle I got from my parents for Christmas when I was 12. It is still in the gun safe because I don't sell my guns.

Springfield XD .45 Service model. I love this gun, I have feed all brands of ammo including reloads and this bad boy has eaten everything with zero failure up to 700 rnds so far. I got into firearms only a 1-1/2 ago due to the fact I have a family now and seeing the termoil the state of our country is heading. I've since bought more and still have a few more on my list to buy.

My first firearm was a Savage .30-06 that I bought for hunting. I didnt have any firearms when I was young (my family was not anti-gun btw). I bought the rifle just over 4 years ago. This year I took my first deer with it while hunting with my father.
My first sidearm was a Glock 19. Still have it and shoot it often.
Mine was a Ruger 10/22 Carbine. My dad gave it to me for my twelfth birthday (1970). Has always been my favorite plinker. Any time I go to the range I put a 100 or so rounds through her. The other fav gun is my dad's Browning Sweet Sixteen 16 gauge shotgun my mom bought him as a wedding present in 1956.
My first was a Winchester model 94 .30-30 carbine that my father bought me in 1964! The recoil was so intense that we had to put a rubber recoil pad on it so I could shoot it.
I still have it today.
