HK VP9...

Sadly I was late, very late to the party. Bought it 12/28/2014 when I was 32. I think with the 3rd mag, ammo, taxes, etc I was out the door for a little under $900.

ETA: Page 2 ownage!

I just had to have a 1911. So I went to Cabela's and found a Remington r1.

I really dislike it. The finish is shit. The frame is cast and lumpy. It came with shit magazines. It has a stupid silver trigger and barrel bushing. It isn't quite tacticool enough, but not old school enough either. It straddles the middle ground of being ugly to everyone. Ended up getting a couple Colts afterwards that I really enjoy.

On the bright side it shoots fine with quality mags. I guess it will stay a nightstand/desk gun.

Sold it to a buddy for a good deal so he could have his first carry gun, as I had a 23 w/ night sights anyway. He still has it.

saw the most recent gun thing, that shit changes all the time

your first gun never changes

the first gun that YOU bought, not got given, inherited or otherwise

still have the gun, probably doesn't have 200rds through it and it'll go to my son

got a few beretta 92 police trade ins that i shoot the shit out of though, one with a threaded bbl and an osprey living on it

2005: About to head out to boot camp, got a hair up my ass that I wanted a Ruger Mini-14. Bought it two weeks before I left.

Before that I was gifted a Henry .22 lever action (16th BD) and a Remington 870 20ga. (14th BD) (oh, and a daisy pellet rifle, 12th BD. Shit was dope.)

A stainless Mini-14 Ranch Rifle when I was 18, from K's Merchandise. Went over to my buddy's dad's farm the next day and ran a couple hundred rounds through it....with no earplugs. I learned the importance of hearing protection that day.

A Winchester Model 270 pump action .22 LR. Still have the gun. I killed a skunk with it 4 or 5 years ago, from a respectable skunk killin' distance.

My first handgun was either a Ruger MK I or an H&R Model 99 Single Action Sportsman. I bought both when I was stationed in the Tidewater, one was a shop on Mercury near I-64, the other from a cool shop on maybe Big Bethel or Magruder, I don't know now. I still have the H&R; I made springs for the gun from the spring from the top of a point ignition rotor, and they are still going strong more than 40 years down the road.
