Cheapy Italian single shot 410 w/ 30 in barrel and full choke. 1978-ish. Although I'm thinking of having the barrel cut down and permanently loaning it to my mom since she needs something for snakes during the spring planting season when the plows kick them up.
Glock 19 since 1998. My pickup date (this was in CA which had and has a 10-day wait) was New Year's Eve of that year. I remember it well because I tried to buy ammo for it at Wal-Mart that evening in anticipation of taking it out the following day to shoot, and they wouldn't sell me any.
I got a Winchester model 250 lever action .22 for Christmas back in 1971 (12 yrs old). Still have it. Was never super impressed by it. But, it was my first gun, so I'll never get rid of it.
The gun I have owned the longest is my 6" Royal Blue Colt Python. My dad got it for me in March 1979. I was working as an armed security officer and had borrowed an old H&R revolver in 38 S&W from him. I treasure that Python even today.
ruger 10/22. I have had it for 14 years now. Guns have came and gone from my collection, but that rifle I will not let go of. I couldn't tell you how many thousands of rounds that have gone through that gun, but the count is extremely high!
A Navy Arms 1858 Remington revolver, bought (on layaway) during the summer of 1973. I was a security guard at a logging road building camp and I wanted something with a bit more presence than my first purchased firearm - an R/G-14 with an inch-and-a-half barrel.
I'd found guns before that, but Dad had always snagged and sold them whenever he was short on cigarette money.
An old single shot .410 with a 26" barrel and the stock chopped to fit me when I actually hunted with it. Got it for christmas 1994, 2 months before my 6th birthday. It quitely resides in the safe for now, untill I have a young'n to pass if on to.
