Mine was/is a Remington 1100 American Classic. Still have it and love it.
Winchester 59
Remington 870 bought back in the late 70’s. Still have it cause it still serves a purpose.
A used Remington 11-87 I found at my LGS several yeas ago. Pretty sure it was a Sportsman or similar model (no rear sight) but ended up a Police model clone with an 18" barrel and extended magazine tube. Haven’t shot it in a while, but it cycled everything I loaded in it. Kinda heavy, and I’m thinking of having it modified to run an optic or just getting a Beretta 1301 now.
Some pistol grip 410. Why? Because I was 18 and it was a pistol grip (no stock)! Traded it in on something else years later

Mossberg 500 with 30” full choke barrel that I could barely shoulder at ten years old.
A Savage m24; .22/.410. But I was 9 yrs. old.
An “EXCEL” single shot w/hammer in .410 (early 1900’s vintage). My dad bought it from a pawn shop in the early '70’s for $5 All of us kids learned to shoot birds with it growing up. I still have it & my kids also learned on it.
A 20 gauge Coast to Coast (Mossberg 500) pump with a 28" full choke barrel.

Winchester Model 12 12ga.
Remington 870 Wingmaster 20 Gauge from the mid Sixties that was gifted to me from Dad. Beautiful blueing, smooth action, a wonderful field gun. Gave it to my brother when I moved. God, I regret doing that to this day. The SOB pawned it and donated the proceeds to the Bernie Sanders campaign.
Gajin, same
Savage 24 22/410, although I was 17. Followed shortly by a Mosin 91/30
Mossberg 500 Mariner in the 16 inch barrel configuration.
Regret not hanging on to it.

winchester 1300 … bought it like-new at a pawn shop for $110 in circa 2001. i never got into shotgun shooting, and sold it about 10 years later, still basically like-new. i was then gifted an 870 in bird configuration - so entirely useless to me, as ive never hunted, never shot trap. after a few years in the safe, i was inspired by a shotgun conversion i read about online and hacked that 870 up - rifled 18.5" barrel, extended magazine, shorter stock, night sights. basically ditched everything except the receiver and action, and started having fun with it on the range. shotguns are fun afterall! i did eventually sell that one as well, in my Great Downsize after the divorce, and currently have no scattergun. perhaps its time to start looking for another 870
FIE Bronco .410, willed to me by my favorite Uncle when I was 12.
Still sits in my safe in like new condition.
This thing kicks like a mule.
16 gauge Springfield single shot that was made just after World War I. Starting in the 1960s’ and for 40 years afterwards I killed hundreds of squirrels, rabbits and quail with it. I still have the shotgun and won’t part with it.
Remington 870 12ga.
Steven’s 311 .20ga. It was my grandpas first or second gun, he can’t remember. He bought it when he was 13, in the late 40s. Yes I still have it.
Used garage sale western field pump 12 ga. at 14. I’m trying to remember, might have been the first gun I ever bought with “my own money”. As I recall it was basically a mossberg.
The first one I ever fired was a 20ga semi auto. Winchester 1300. The second, a 870 wingmaster from the 70s, also 20ga. The first one I bought was a Benelli m4.
