Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
- Alfred Lord Tennyson

What gun would you buy for your first one? Your second?
The very first gun I got was a Buck Mark. 22 cal. It cost almost nothing to learn how to shoot. There is a lot more to shooting then just pulling a trigger. You need to know how to stand, how to point the weapon, cripes even how to hold the weapon.
Yep, that ole pea shooter helped me to build the basic skills before I jumped to my Colt 45 1911.
I didn't have a choice in my first gun as it was a family heirloom. It was my great-grandfather's Win. Model 12 pump in 20 ga. with two different interchangeable fixed choke barrels. One was a skeet choke barrel and the other was a field grade full choke barrel. Pretty damned good for a 10 year old's first gun.
