What was your first shotgun?

First shotguns

The first shotgun that was given to me is a 20 Ga. H&R Topper Model Ducks Unlimited Greenwing Special.

The first shotgun I bought for myself is a Browning Auto-5 Light Twelve.

First shot out of that 20 Ga. put me on my butt, but at least I had a boat cushion!
 
First one was a Fox Sterlingworth 20 ga double. I got it for Christmas when I was 13, a year when my parents didn't have any money for gifts and they'd gotten this gun when my great-grandfather died earlier that year. After the Christmas joy had worn off, I gave it back to my father, it was far too nice a gun for a 13 year old kid to be trudging thru the snow and shooting rabbits with. I got it back when he died a few years ago. It's still a nice gun.
 
Remington 1100 20 ga. got it when I was 9. I still shoot it to this day. My son will get it when he is mature enough and big enough to handle it. :)
