What is the first gun you ever shot? For me, it was a pump action model 61. I still have it in my gun cabinet. It was my Dad's gun when he was a kid.

Remington 550 .22 rifle. I also still have it. It rode in the trunk of my dad's patrol car for years for any "plinking" needs. I did a polished reblue on it and refinished the stock when I worked part time for a gunsmith a few years back. Looks brand new.
Winchester model 42 shotgun, didn't touch a rifle till years later.
Smith and Wesson 4506
Mine was a friends old Remington bolt action .22 rifle, we would traipse off to the woods and pretend we were big game hunters...
.22 rifle at Boy Scout Camp.
Snub nose .38 special.
Ruger Service Six with 38 specials in it. My dad's first service weapon, and it still sits in his dresser drawer for home defense duty. I was in either first or second grade. He'd take me out to shoot it every few months or so. I also busted my first 357 cap in that gun when I was about 10.
When I was 11, I went through a hunters safety class, and shot my first rifle, a .22.
When I was 12, I was old enough to be entered into the local turkey shoots, and shot my first shotgun, a 410 single shot that my dad picked up for under a hundred bucks.
Browning Hi Power 9mm
Smith and Wesson .22 caliber revolver.

Forgot to say that this was my service weapon. In my youth there were air weapons and BB guns but I don't count those.Quote:
