My first gun in Texas.

[HKShooter65]

Most of us remember our first middle school crush.

My dad bought a Browning SA-22 at a little gun shop in Fredericksburg when I was a kid.
He let me shoot it with him when I was maybe 8.
He let me walk the ranch roads alone with it when I was about 12. Many a rabbit succumbed to it.

$599 at Bass Pro.

I still have it in the original box.
Innumerable bricks of ammo have passed through it.

That's my best answer.

 

[Army 1911]

Springfield range officer or other 1911.

Most of us remember our first teen crush.

My dad bought a Browning BA-22 at a little gun shop in Fredericksburg when I was a kid.
He let me shoot it with him when I was maybe 8.
He let me walk the ranch roads alone with it when I was about 12.

That’s cool!

Off the top of my head handguns I already have are: 19x, g17, xdm, redhawk, sw 629, sr9e, sig 229 40 sw, Springfield 1911, lcp 2, cz compact, cz sp01, xds, sr22

 

[HKShooter65]

That’s cool!

Yup.
With all due respect to the 1911 .45, I think the BA-22 is John Moses Browning's most elegant creation.

You need a Sig P-365

 

[TxStetson]

You also need a Sig P-320 Tac-X

Rossi or Henry 1892 lever action trapper model with big loop in 44mag.

Or just do it with a .458 socom ar-15.

Well if a SAA in 45LC isn’t it, this is suitable.

You mean people USE them?

 

[Big Green]

He said this could be fun or suck. So I was going to say Hi Point but someone beat me to it.

So, for an actual useful weapon, I’ll say Mossberg 590A1, 20” barrel with ghost ring sights.

As an aside, I’ve been thinking about getting my FFL and been thinking about would I buy with my dealer discount. When I do, I may propose a query much like yours. Thank you for for the idea.

Uberti Walker-Colt with a cartridge conversion cylinder.

You can use the Blackpowder cylinder or swap out the conversion cylinder and use them new fangled cartridge things. They’ll never catch on.

Wonderful guns though I have a 590a1 now. Ex deputy gun with just the bead sight. I had one with the ghost ring and I didn’t like it. I love ghost rings on pistols just not on a shotgun. The bead sight is a bit faster and basic.

CZ P09

 

[Sam7sf]

Well...Not a horrible pick. I wanna try and look for an actual marlin. Used to have a few one break open and one Henry. The Henry was a lemon. Was thinking of another 45-70 anyway.

 

[Dawico]

Well, 30 posts. Whatcha getting?

Or you waiting for 30 posts with an actual firearm recommendation?

Ah, ninja'd. That will work.

 

[Sam7sf]

CZ P09

Had one. Underrated. Very accurate. May I dare say the most accurate I had shot in single action. Double action is horrible compared to the 75. I payed 450 new for mine and traded it to get my mini14.

In that case you seem to be a little Ruger poor
You need a good stainless GP 100
