Would have been way too much effort for a shitty illegal surplus pistol that I bought an identical one in the US for $190 the moment I gained permanent residency.
Yep. I got a shitty nu-remington 870 as my 18th birthday present back in 2013 and it started rusting about the nanosecond I took it out of the box.
It was the only gun I had for a while so I beat the shit out of it shooting in the woods pretending to be an opr8r, but surprisingly it still holds up to this day, and I keep it under my bed now.
I sold my Romanian AKM, it had a slightly warped barrel but sold it to a friend who offered the same price I paid for it. I used that money and a bit more added to it to buy a brand new 103.
Nope. A friend gave me a 1914 Winchester 1912 shotgun in 12ga. It was completely thrashed and worn out, had a 28" choked barrel, and was suggested it wasn't approved for steel shot. I realized I'd never have a situation where I'd shoot it regularly. Sold it to an over-eager collector for $400 (years ago) and bought several other guns I still have.
I still have the first gun I actually _bought_. It's a Sig P6 from J&G sales in 2010 when they were on the surplus market. Love how it fits my hand.
she's had a normal mag release, an mlok handguard, a small foregrip that is basically just a handstop, a 3-9x40, a shitty chinkdot and magnifier combo, and is now awaiting an aimpoint. Rear flip-up sight has been removed along the way, but that big obnoxious front sight assembly remains. Maybe I will put the rear back on when I put on the aimpoint
Sure do, and I'll always keep it. I feel bad though because I haven't shot it in years. I'm just not as interested in shooting shotguns as I used to be.
>I'm just not as interested in shooting shotguns as I used to be.
Sell it to someone who is. There's too many guns sitting unused in private collections where they will never be used to arm a wide swath of currently noguns normies
No. Frick them, they can go out and buy a Mossberg 500 or some shit. I would rather destroy it than see it in the hands of someone who didn't own guns before 2013.
fellow USP as first gun anon, as one USP owner to another, I'm scared the metal inserts holding the slide will wear or the polymer will grow brittle with age... It's been my favourite handgun of all time for over 15 years and I dont want it to break... how long have you had yours and have you had any experience with the plastic frame growing brittle? I fear I wont be able to replace mine if it does go because Im in a state where I cant acquire another frame if it does go due to gay morons running it
oh, its also in .45 like yours because 9 & 40 for that big of a handgun is gay
It's a 2019 with less than 5k rounds through it, so i'm far from that kind of wear. However I will say when buying it that I fingerfricked a used one. The boomer claimed "no rounds through it" however it was a 1994 production date, the plastic seemed near new but the metal inserts were nearly ground away, and the rifling was almost gone, it'd seen a LOT of round and worked just fine.
would there be any way to replace those metal inserts or is she dead once the slide inserts give way? mine is a 2016 that I bought as it's third user through a transfer because my state is moronic and doesnt allow sale of USP to civvies but cops can get them brand new ofc lol.
If so I guess she will live as a gunsafe queen because I cannot bring myself to have to have her fall apart on me, she is my favourite gun.
>I'm scared the metal inserts holding the slide will wear or the polymer will grow brittle with age
If you really want to be safe: keep track of round count and replace the recoil spring at regular intervals. USPs have survived something like 100K rounds and kept on chugging with literally no parts replacement, but better safe than sorry. You most likely will go bankrupt from buying too much ammo before you ever wear it out.
As far as polymer being brittle with age: there is some truth that UV radiation degrades plastic. But you're not leaving your gun in the sun every day to cook, so it's effectively a non issue.
Thanks anon, the gentleman I bought my USP from actually sold it to me with a bunch of replacement mag springs and a spare set of wolf recoil springs so I guess I'm in luck here.
Aside from that still scared since I dont think I'll be able to move to a free state for a few years as I'm still wrapping up my schooling here. here's a pic for you guys' trouble
Taurus or HiPoint pistols are $200 or less. Yildiz single shot shotguns and Rough Rider .22lr’s are $110-$140. Even if you’re a felon, pre-1899 produced guns aren’t legally firearms and felons who aren’t currently doing stupid illegal shit can own them. Same may apply to black powder muzzle loaders, don’t know
Between my rifle and pistol I don't know which would count as the first gun more than the other. I reserved my rifle a few months prior but I had paid my pistol in full before getting both in my hands the very same day back in January 2021.
In the morning I went and picked up my rifle at a pick up point and paid the rest of the tab. In the afternoon I went to a shop to pick up my pistol that had just arrived that day as well. Since I'm relatively /nugunz/ I still retain all three of the guns I've bought so far.
I bought a Savage 64f when I was 19 as my first gun. Should’ve gotten a Ruger 10/22 for better feeding and more attachments/bigger mags, but I still love it. Rigged up my old pellet rifle’s scope on it with a cheap Amazon dovetail to piccatinny, along with an Amazon bipod and PPsH sling. Ugly looking with my shitty spray painted Tigerstripe camo, but I love this stupid thing. Nice cheap to shoot plinker, only problem is no physical store seems to sell mags for it anymore, and the 20 round mag that comes with the tactical version isn’t sold seperately. If there’s one gun I’d be willing to sell, it’d be my 7.35 bubbaed Finnish Carcano. Got it for $200, never been able to find ammo for it, except some guy selling original WWII ammo for $60 for 20 rounds (though he included stripper clips). Thing is, I wouldn’t get much cause of the same reason I could afford it. No ammo, and bubba fricked it like a young model with Botox
Yes, I still do. My Mom agreed to buy me a gun when I was 17, the two choices were an M1 Garand and an SKS. I decided on the Garand and I don't regret it. I'm never parting with it.
The first given to me: rem 870 my father gave me. I sold it in my divorce to pay off the remainder of my debt, and to get rid of reminders of my parents.
My first purchase; RIA compact 1911. And yes, I’ll never sell it. For an islander made 1911 it’s stupidly accurate and reliable. I love it.
Yes and no.
My first actual gun was a century c39v2 that I got strong armed into buying at Cabela's as an autistic 18 year old who didn't understand how FFLs work and no gun friends to help me. I had trouble selling it because I couldn't in good conscience sell what I knew was a milled pipe bomb but got a grand out of it when covid hit.
I consider my first hand gun my true first gun. A CZ97 that I bought in the back office of an ACE hardware in my hometown, which I still own and shoot.
My dad got me this Bushmaster preban HBAR for 600 bucks when I was 16 and fat because I wanted to practice before I joined the Marines. It unfortunately came on an Anderson lower which I have since used for something else but am tracking down a bushmaster lower to throw it onto.
>Do you still own your first gun?
Nope, my first gun was a Remington 870 and it was stolen. Definitely by someone we knew because they broke into our house and unbolted the safe from my dad's closet and stole nothing else but some of my mom's israeliteelry.
It was really super duper definitely our Vietnamese neighbors, they even had my dad's grill in their backyard and you could see it from my room's window, but the cops were powerless and/or useless. Same with all of the stolen bikes in the neighborhood even though everyone could point to the same handful of shitty teenagers.
It's a fudd gun and yes but I hate it, cheapo savage Axis in .270 win, bought it at a pawn shop for 120 dollars in 2016 when I was 21. My mom hates guns and my dad is a fudd who only owns hunting shotguns and rifles so no shot they were going to buy me a first gun not that I expected it unlike many here.
>but I hate it
Why? There's nothing wrong with a basic bolty in a good caliber. And there's nothing stopping you from acquiring an AR or whatever you actually want. If you have a rifle you prefer, you could just sell the Axis. If you don't have something preferable, you can just hang on to it temporarily so you're hasrifle. There's plenty of anons that would LOVE a .270 Axis. Some of them would even suck your dick for it.
Like that "Noor" guy, or the "Lady" tripgay who got the orchiectomy and posted pics
>Why?
It has the lightweight plastic on it so it kicks like a mule, even more than an old Mosin which most people think is the worst milsurp for recoil. Also really hard on the cheap Bushnell scope 4-12x that I put on it. Otherwise it's alright I guess, especially given the price.
>Some of them would even suck your dick for it.
Is it really gay if you are doing it for a gun and say no homosexual first?
Well that's a personal choice but it's as good as anything. The P99's slide is significantly less chunky and it has a better single action than a PDP but it's more expensive, can't mount an optic and has a much worse grip texture. I think the slide alone makes a P99 a better choice but they're out of production and hard to find for a reasonable price now. The size difference is negligible.
P99 is the best feeling handgun in my collection despite costing less than half as much as some others. The trigger beats out the H9, which is wild when you think about it.
My version is a P99-AS which is a little annoying only because the slide marking is there, and it has a slightly longer trigger press than originals to keep people from NDing into themselves but the wall is light and crisp on single and double action. Having second strike capability if for any reason I get a clock instead of a bang is cool - but it suffers from never being able to mount a modern red dot (dewienerer button location) and relatively limited aftermarket support for things like holsters compared against any gun that's still in production.
No, it was a mismatched Spanish Mauser carbine. It was a complete garbage rod and I have no regrets getting rid of it. I do still have my second gun, a Savage Mk II my dad gave me for Christmas one year and I will never part with it
No I had a gen 3 Glock 34 that was finicky with ammo probably because I was shooting 9mm Luger bunny turds through it. Regret it to this day getting rid of it.
Yes but I came back to it in a sense.
It was a Beretta 92, Italian mfg.
It was an amazing gun, such a joy to own, but I was a noob and couldn’t shoot for shit.
Sold it and got some polymer striker fires. Then got a red dot, which started to actually make me improve. I started to see the effects of trigger control because of the dot.
Eventually the battery went out one day and I went back to shooting with irons. My shots were perfect.
Went back and got a Legion P226 DA/SA and haven’t looked back.
Yeah, and in the same cosmetic condition - I just dropped a volkwartzem trigger into the old 10/22 and kept everything else the same... how far things have come since then
No I traded it in. Glock 41. No matter what I did, it was horribly unreliable. Ammo, springs, mags, back to glock. Traded towards a P226 Elite and have much better gun and no regerts
Yes.
A Tula Mosin Nagant 91/30 with matching serials.
I only ever shot it once, but I still have her.
It was a guft from my father, when he learned I didn't have a single gun.
The first one I bought was a Mossberg 500 and I still have that, too.
Sold my beretta px4 storm. Kinda regret it. I miss my thick pasta blaster
Pasta la Vista
No. It was a S&W 4500. Regret selling it and now Im thinking about buying one as I think early generation S&W autos are kino.
Yes/No
Bought a Glock 45. It's my dad's now.
I had a CZ 75 SP 01, sold it to my friend so I can shoot it occasionally. Don't regret it at all. I learned quickly I just prefer revolvers
No, my first gun is in a different country which I handed over my passport for.
>not paying shifty longshoremen to smuggle your gun
gay

Yes, a CZ-75B. Just gave her a good clean and oiling after OP reminded me about her.
I sold my Romanian AKM, it had a slightly warped barrel but sold it to a friend who offered the same price I paid for it. I used that money and a bit more added to it to buy a brand new 103.
Yep. Both first owned and first bought.
My SKS, not only do I still own it, I still shoot it regularly
My 3rd gun was a m59/66. Some light pitting near the gas port and the handguard cracked one day while shooting. Still love her.
I'd like to pick up a Chinese one but I don't want to pay over 400
>don't want to pay over 400
>over 400
>400
lol. lmao even.
>that pic
Is that a Christopher McCandless meme?
Still have my first gun, the Winchester 94
Nope. A friend gave me a 1914 Winchester 1912 shotgun in 12ga. It was completely thrashed and worn out, had a 28" choked barrel, and was suggested it wasn't approved for steel shot.

Based HKbro. I panic bought a P30SK during the Summer of Love and I plan on holding on to it until I die. It’s a good thing those guns last long too
zastava npap and i sold it after 2 years. no regrets.

Never did own it
Yeah. AUG and M&P 9.
Never planning to part with either of them.

The cops are holding it for me 🙁

Yes. It's shit. But it was free.
Where are they handing out M1951 clones for free other than Bagdad 2003?
Insurgency Sandstorm has me itching for one of these.
Got it from my grandfather, was allowed to pick one of his guns, went with the Helwan over much better options. Shit ain't even surplus, but oh well.
No, my dad sold it during the divorce but I bought one that's identical. It's one of my most shot guns and weirdly accurate.
Yes. Browning BDA 380. Got it when I was in the 5th grade. Still in its original box. Will have it until the day I die. Thanks gramps RIP.
80s production R870. Definitely keeping that one. OEM heat shield and mag extended.
