I just bought my first Ruger 10/22. I pick it up on tuesday. i cant wait. it should be a lot of fun. =] and my first gun was a browning lightning. and a remington 7600 .270. i love them both. The Browning is my favorite gun of the two by far. Hopefully my 10/22 will change that.

mandel 9mm

p95 I got it in November 09 and love it .

My first Ruger was also my first gun.

It is a 77/22 I recieved on my birthday in 1998. It is still my only rifle (haven't needed anything else) and my only Ruger.

Sodbuster

10/22 Stainless Barrel w/ Synthetic Stock purchased in 2000. Still have it and would never sell it since it was also my first gun. It remains my favorite to shoot as well since I can go all day without going broke.

First gun was a Marlin 60, .22 rifle back in 1981 that I still have.
First Ruger was a Ranch Rifle I bought after 9/11 that I also still have.
First new pistol purchase was a P95DC...and she has been faithfully by my side since 2003.

cbuckeye

First Ruger and first gun purchase. I've had it for a few weeks and putting about 200 rounds a week through it. Wish I could do more.



Already thinking of picking up a .45 of some kind, and can't find a reason not to get a second Ruger.

mdruger

My first Ruger was a Mark III 5" bull barrel blue, not my first firearm that would have been an Ithaca 64 single shot lever action .22 rifle

peacemaker 45

First Ruger I bought was in 1970, M77 in caliber 350 Rem Mag. Still have it today. One of the best rifles I have. Still shoots dead on

tinman

first Ruger was a Bisley .32 H&R Magnum Single Six bought in 1982, followed by a Mk II 6 7/8 target in '86, then a KP95DC, a Davidson's Special P90, a pair of Vaquero's in .45 LC, a 10/22 and a 580 Ranch Rifle in .223. I sure like them Rugers.... I still have all of them

ROGER4314

My first Ruger was an old model Blackhawk in .357 magnum. I put thousands of rounds through that pistol.

Ruger P89 9mm.

My uncle bought it new in '93 and sold it to me about 3 years ago. Still looks new, as neither of us shot it much. Surprisingly I'm not very good with it. Maybe I need a laser or something...

Sushimoto

My first was a P90 stainless.

SR9c

First handgun I ever had was a 4 5/8" Blackhawk in .41 Mag...Got it in 1967.

First Ruger was a 10/22 I got for Christmas when I was about 14. Still have it, it's my "keep in the barn for killing critters" gun, it's got about a million rounds through it and I still use it as a backyard plinker. Countless squirrels and groundhogs have fallen before it!

My first "real" Ruger was (is) my GP100 blued 6" full underlug, no real sentiment attached to it. I bought it when I was by myself shopping at Gander Mt. and decided to see what Ruger revolvers were all about. It has since been followed by about 8 more Ruger DA revolvers, both several Six series and GP's of various flavors. Ironically my first Ruger wheelgun, the one that started my interest with Ruger DA revolvers, is my least favorite. Nothing at all wrong with it, just don't care as much for full lug 6" revolvers. My half lug 6" is by far better IMO and the 4" GP's do anything my 6" can do and handle far better for me.

My first Ruger was an SP-101 357 revolver. Still own it and still enjoy shooting it with Crimson Trace.

My 1st Ruger was ssRedhawk, I traded a mod 27 S&W for it.

44s rock

First gun was an old Winchester single shot passed down from my grandfather. First of my own was a Colt single six I got at graduation from HS. First Ruger was a 2 3/4" Security Six purchased in 71 when I realized the rattle snakes in MN were too big for a 22 in my opiniom!

chewball22

My first two rugers are my first two handguns
1. SS mkIII hunter 6 7/8 inch barrel
2. SS gp100 6 inch barrel

Headknocker

My First Ruger was a 10/22 bought around 1985..
Since I've had several 10/22s, MKII Pistols & SP101s..
I think that every shooter needs a 10/22 & MKII in thier collection, It sure saves on ammo costs & they are alot of fun plinking at the range..

My first Ruger was also a Walnut 10/22 carbine that I bought from K-Mart.
Many thousands of rounds later, it still shoots like new.
I really like that little rifle.

bogus bill

A 6 1/2" convertable single six bought new in late 1961 or early 1962.

First ruger was a P95, not my first gun

Ruger Redhawk

My first handgun was a S&W M67 which I still have and will never sell.My mom had to do the paperwork for it since I was only 19.That's a Stainless 38spl "Combat Masterpiece" with stainless everything including sights.

I think my first Ruger was a (K)GF32. a Police Service Six .S/S 357 mag with fixed sights and 2 3 /4" bbl.Last year I used it for my CCW qualification.Shoots as good as the day I got it.

Bigworm

Ruger single six bought in 1982 and I still have it today.

rezman762

My first firearm that I bought with earned money was a Ruger.

Worked the summer of 1973, 15 years old, steady diet of Elmer Keith in the old Guns and Ammo mag.

Changed irrigation sprinklers morning and night, at $1.85 an hour. Made enough money, and talked my Mom into buying a OM Blackhawk in 45 Colt.

Still got it, unmolested. Could bust bottles at 50 yards back in the day. Can't hardly make out a bottle at 50 to shoot these days. (Heavy sigh) Ain't gettin' old grand.

Truupster

A Mark II Target was my first Ruger; bought it used, loved it and sold it when I became a parent. I have not made the mistake of selling a Ruger since.
1st gun I owned was a Winch. .22 rifle my Dad bought me. Still have it and hope my son gets it.

Wideload

1st gun purchased was a West German surplus Walther P1(an alloy frame, post war P38.)

1st Ruger was a MK II with fixed sights.

Both are long gone ... traded away for another gun that I had to have at that time.

Rockhanger

First Ruger was a single six. First gun was a H&R 20ga. single shot

kthrash

First Ruger was a P89DC, still in my safe.

MikeRitchie

My First Ruger was .22 single six. Bought it back in the early 1990's. My first gun was a marlin model 60 that I got for my 13th birthday.

Paladin43

My first Ruger was a flat top .357 Mag Blackhawk, Chromed, 4 5/8" barrel, and stag horn grips. Beautiful! accurate! It was 1962, in So. Florida. I had just started college there. I hunted with it. Like a fool, I sold it. Now I wish I had it back.

johnatram

My first gun was a Hi-Standard Flite-King 20ga 3" mag pump shotgun 28" full choke vent rib bought at Wollworth's( $69.99 ). I was 18. 1973. Shot my first and many pheasants...great gun, I'd buy one again if I could find one. Then I went to hi dollar Winchester O/U's...
My first Ruger was .357/9mm 4 5/8" Blackhawk-target sights...my brother still has it...circa 1975.
I now have several 77's, and #1's and RSI's....

Boris

First gun was a Daisy Red Ryder that I used to clean out my friends of money, comics and bubble gum in shooting contests. I discovered the concept of trajectory before they did. First firearm I purchased was a used Ruger Single Six .22Lr/.22 Mag convertible only the .22 Mag cylinder didn't come with it although it did have a western holster and belt. Being young and stupid I sold it a few years later. Stupid continued for many years. I could tell you of many guns I acquired and then sold or traded but I don't want to make some of the more sensitive readers cry.

My very 1st Ruger was a pistol in 22cal with interchangable cylinder which was in 22mag. It was a Western type handgun I used to wear in holster while riding my horse years ago in the 1960's.

redletter

The first gun I bought was a MKIII 22/45 Hunter w/ 4.5" barrel. Got it a year ago and last month I bought a LCR. Love them both. The first Ruger that I ever shot was probable my dad's MKII .22, also been a great gun.

BluChevy94

My first Ruger was my first handgun, a mid-60's vintage Standard Model, or Mk I. It seems like I read somewhere that the proper name for the 4 3/4" tapired barrel pistol is "Standard Model" and the 6" heavy tapired barrel is the Mk I. I dunno, I just like to shoot it. The really sweet part of this pistol is that it was passed down from my grandfather. It was in completely original, used condition when I got it, I just added the grips and had the bolt jeweled. Didn't feel bad about those modifications because they majorly dressed up the looks and I could always just throw the stock grips back on and polish out the jewels if I wanted to. This pic is washed out looking, but it's all I got.
