First gun I ever owned was a Ruger Mark II stainless bull-barrel .22 lr with a 5.5 inch barrel. Drop dead accurate, but heavy.

I then bought a SIG Sauer P229 in 9mm and a Colt AR15A2 sporter with the A1 upper receiver and sights.

I ended up selling all those when I was cash strapped.

Then I bought a Ruger KP90DC (great pistol) and a Remington M700 PSS in .308. Sold the Ruger to pay for a SIG P220, Sold the Remington to pay for an M1A supermatch. Sold the Ruger Blackhawk .357 because I lost interest in cowboy guns.

Somewhere along the line I picked up a 10/22. I like that rifle a lot.

Ruger M77 with Leupold 3x9 Vari-Xii on it. Bought it at a gunshow for $250 (yeas a long time ago). It was a nice gun, but I never really liked it. Kicked too much, and I was just a kid at the time. Never got any accuracy out of it, but I didn't know much back then either.

Mine is a Marlin 99a .22semi auto. I still have it and still shoot it. Dad gave it to me for my 10th birthday, gotta love the guy!

First gun was a Sig 225. Have had it for over ten years, and is still a primary carry piece, alongside my Glock 21.

An old mossberg 12 gauge.....I retired it last year. I plan to pass it on to my oldest son!

My first firearm was an Armscor Precision M1600R. It was a poorly-developed clone of the M16 rifle in .22LR. The only neat thing about it was it had a spring-loaded telescoping stock that would shoot out into the extended position with a push of a button. You don't see too many of them around anymore.

I'd write my own, but what Soulzero said is exactly the same for me so I'll just quote his post [:)]

I did use an Airsoft BB rifle before I got my Crosman pistols, but it wasn't mine, it was my dad's.

My first 4473 was for a M1 Garand.
