Since I epically failed in the previous thread, can I get a do over?

What was the first caliber firearm you owned?

Posted: 3/9/2009 1:12:13 AM EDT

[#1]

I think .410 or 20 gauge would have been a better poll option than 10 gauge. Mine was still 5.56/.223 though.

Is the 7.62 supposed to group ALL 7.62's?

Mine was a 7.62x54R

ETA Maybe

Other Long gun
Other Handgun

Which 7.62 is this referring to? x39, x51, x54, 63!?! This thread fails too.

No. I done answered.

I take it by the poll choices that you're not a fan of revolvers.

A piece of shit ruger ranch rifle, .223

I will never again own another ruger product, after that experience plus many others.

First firearm owned was a Colt 1911. So .45 would be the correct answer.

The first firearm I ever owner was a single shot .410 shotgun that my father gave me when I was 10 or 11. He first started taking me shooting and teaching me firearm safety when I was 6 or 7 and now look at me, a full blown addict.

I'm glad he did though and have done the same for my daughter. She's not very interested in higher powered guns but she loves to shoot .22s.

Sorry I couldn't get everybody's choices in there, but there are only 10 options...I do still think it was better than the first poll I did...

Mine was an S&W Sigma .40

Missed that gun, so I picked up a Sigma 9mm last week

Posted: 3/9/2009 9:31:38 AM EDT

My first firearm was a bushmaster 20" when I was 18.

Posted: 3/9/2009 9:34:17 AM EDT

[#50]

First gun I had was an H&R .410. Christmas or birthday present from dad.

I still have it, but have almost no use for the .410.
