Spin off of First Kills Thread - first Purchased Gun?

What was the first gun you purchased yourself?
Mine was a 1963 Browning Auto-5 in 16ga with a Polychoke. I was 16 and wanted a shotgun like my dad's. Saved my yard mowing money and bought it at a Pawnshop for $275. Sold it many years later to buy a new 870 Supermag because I thought I needed to shoot 3.5's to kill ducks. I was an idiot. Still regret that decision.

I bought this snub-nose 357 for $125 from a guy I worked with when I was 18 in 1990. It's been riding in my vehicle ever since.

Mossberg 835 3.5" 12 ga.
I was 15 and bought it over the counter at walmart for $212. No back ground checks back in the early/mid 90's.

Glock 17 or Benelli Nova. I don't remember which one I bought first.

Actually it was just recently. I've had a shotgun for forever that was a Christmas present. A couple of months ago I bought a Steyr M9-A1 because I woke up one day and wanted a handgun.

Browning Gold Stalker in 2000. Like the OP, I thought I needed to be able to shoot 3.5s to kill ducks. Turns out, I just needed to shoot better.

First gun I bought was a Remington 870 Wingmaster 26" barrel, black synthetic stock. Bought it from a guy in 10th grade for $100. Used if for about 10 years or so. I beat the shite out of that gun, and it was still working the day I sold it.

Ruger SR9c. Still one my favorites to shoot.

Remington 7600 .270 from a pawn shop in 1984, after I passed down a Savage 30/30 pump to my brother.

9th grade a buddy wanted to sell a model 10 S&W .38 with a 4" barrel. I asked how much and he replied $20.00.
I still have that pistol. It was the only pistol I owned for many many years.

Bought a BAR Safari II 30-06 from Walmart at 14. Dumb person working the counter told me and my parents they couldn't sell it because it was the only one they had. Manager checked and said Browning only sent us one (common) so they sold it to me on lay-a-way. Still have it and many deer regret that purchase
