Never was in question . Let's play with guns, eh? The more veterans here, the better, IMHO.

First pistol

Dan Wesson 6 inch .357

First Rifle

Ruger M77 .308 Ultra Light... wish I had never sold that one she was a Deer killing machine

Unbeknownst to my son, I just picked up an air rifle for him, he'll be five this weekend. Mom doesn 't want him to play with it for awhile, so I guess I will have to try it out over the next few days.

My first firearm was a .22 cal bolt action, load 1 round at a time into the chamber, don't remember the brand, age 6 years.
My first handgun was a S&W Model 28, Highway Patrolman, .357 mag, age 12 years.

I forgot mine. It was a .22 of some description. Anschutz? Is that a brand?

Sure is, high quality German brand founded in 1856, known for their target rifles. Not sure what they did in the past but guessing the quality was there all along. Was it a single shot with a heavy barrel?

Sorry, but with all the love of guns here, i had to show you all this one.
Its never or will ever be fired. Its #51 of 500 that were produced its first year.
CZ75 silver anniversary edition. Given to me by my father a few years before he passed away.

Man! That is beautiful. A friend has a CZ 45. Just holding it in hand is all the quality control you need.
I expect the Czechs made them from old German tanks. Like their motorcycles. Indestructible!

Hehehe No I started shooting the typical way BB gun's and .22's but they were not MINE well the Daisy's were

Those were MY first two guns,, I literally shot the Dan Wesson to pieces, traded it and some cash for a .357 Lever Rifle loved that thing

That is a beauty. I learned to shoot pistols with my dads old competition CZ 75 pre-b. Lately I've been debating the p-01 or PCR...and I'm loosing the battle with FAD
