I recall doing this once before. Be aware that your results will be skewed to the age of members that frequent the Forum and are not indicative of all membership.
My son reads this fourm every day and is 13.
I find it interesting that the members who responded are clustered in the 50's and up. I am 56. I have always been interested in guns, but recently got interested in pistols. I used to buy shotguns, since I am an avid hunter. Once I got all of the ones I wanted, it was only natural to move on to the pistols. When I was younger I just didn't have the expendable cash to buy pistols that were nice to have, but that I didn't use regularly. I wonder if the age class has anything to do with expendable income. Just a random thought.
I just turned 55 a few days ago.
For me it's been revolvers.
But I am researching my options for my first plastic fantastic pistol.
I know I'm gonna want to conceal carry it, so it'll probably a 9mm single stack. Although a double stack'd be nice too.

Suspicion confirmed. 
I'm eighty and have owned guns all my life, but I didn't discover this forum till almost five years ago. It quickly became my only firearm forum.

Probably do better to drop the first two categories and add some at the other end (my end).

I am guessing the average age is 55 or older for the most part. I am 34 years old and am on this forum daily. I have learned so much here and it has helped me make better decisions, made me want more revolvers, help a new shooter or two out. Even helped me learn that sometimes a problem gun just needs a good cleaning and lube and maybe some new springs.
Yeah,
Yeah, we can only get our kicks by shooting guns. I can remember some really good shots I made years ago, though.

What scares me is I know a hot 70 year old girl and I'm afraid she thinks I'm too young.

That's a lot better than her thinking you are too old!

WOW! The poll is a little scary to look at.
No members under 30 so far and only a handful under 50! I just missed the most popular category by a year - I'll be 64 in a few weeks.
Lee has to start advertising the Forum in BSA's Boy's Life instead of AARP - LOL!

61 for me, age-wise. But at least I know I have 1 young convert in the family; my 25 year old daughter would much rather shoot a nice revolver than an auto pistol. That is, except for my Coonan Classic, which is a 1911 style pistol that shoots 357 Mag ammo! She doesn't mind shooting that auto, but could care less about the plastic fantastic bottom feeders.
