[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 3045185, member: 423"] First gun ever was a 10/22. It had a SS heavy bull barrel and Hogue stock. It was heavy, but super accurate. I sold it to build the gun in my avatar now (9mm 1911). Don't particularly miss it. First handgun was Kimber Compact Stainless .45 ACP. It was a great gun, again, super accurate, crazy nice trigger. But it was a 4" with carry sights and all stainless construction. So it was target gun heavy, with a short sight radius and carry sights. Also being their 4" it had a FLGR which was a pain, and it ate recoil springs every 750 rounds or so. Also learned how picky 1911s can be about good mags. Traded it for an AR, which was parted out for something else, which is also long gone now. It gave me part of my screen name. It was a nice gun, but like most of my first guns - the 10/22 above, first CF rifle (Rem700 .270), first AR (16" w/ heavy barrel), first shotgun (Rem1100 12ga), it was a learning experience. I didn't really know what was good in that category. I'm still learning. [/QUOTE]
