How did this get started for YOU

I started collecting many years ago, mostly old Colts and military rifles. Like Gibson59, I was shooting with a friend one day (about 15 years ago) who insisted I shoot his pre-27. That's all it took, I have been obsessed with 4 and 5 screw N-frames ever since.
 
I try not to "collect" guns even though it sometimes seems that way. All my stuff is semi auto, modern and fills some sort of a role. I try not to own more then 2 of any specific model.

My first was a 12G i bought when i was 18, in 1998

Thanks for the relies!! Interesting stories...Cigars are not a habit... Just a hobby...These fine Smith's are becoming a HABIT, And I haven't even got started good.

I got started on this forum after my Grandfather passed away from cancer back in 2008. He had several guns, I bought a few to help out my Grandmother, and one was a S&W 459. Although I couldn't warm up to the 459, I ended up selling it to fund the 5906 pictured above. Been addicted to S&W's ever since.
 
Really started for me in 1974 when my dad bought me a Model 67. He bought 4-one for him and one for me and my two brothers. Been down hill ever since.
