The gun that holds that special place in my heart is my grandfather's Colt .38 Police Special service revolver from when he was a cop in California. It was the first handgun I ever fired, and that was when he was teaching me how to shoot. I inherited it when he passed away to include the complete duty belt with a specially designed speed draw holster.
The folding front sight/block is also GG&G. Pretty sure it's discontinued, and wish it wasn't because I've been waiting over a year for one to pop up on GAFS. Also pretty sure the upper is a factory GG&G Dominator-1. Currrently going for almost 800 on valhalla tactical supply
Little bit of an AR novice, I only have one & it’s my first. So yeah, it has some personal value. Got it a few years ago & it’s a featureless Springfield St. Victor 16” 556, I put a red dot optic on it raised for co-witness since I’m primarily an iron sight shooter, along with a JT grip.
Sold my first AR, miss it terribly. Had a spur-type grip with an extended trigger guard that felt better than the fin grip imo, can’t find that grip today no matter how hard I look. 16” A1-style rifle with an A2 stock and basic mil-spec furniture, loved that thing.
My nostalgia gun for me is definitely my first handgun. My gen 3 glock 22. I've had it for almost 16 years and still love it as much as I did the day I brought it home. Still trust my life and the lives of my loved ones 💯. Carried it on duty. Take it with me when i travel. Take it camping. Everywhere. I'll never sell it.
Yeah I have one. Its a delton lightweight chrome lined barrel with carbine gas system that my fiance got me. I took a lightweight m lol free float handguard and chopped it so the top rail extends passed the m lok about a fixed front light length just so it's one of a kind. I have it slim fixed front and rear sights on it and a strike industries fixed stock that I modified to be .5 inches longer than entry length. The last price of it is a cassette trigger called the black widow that this guy on eBay used to make about 7 years ago that is arguably one of the best single stage triggers I have ever shot and will never be able to replace. This gun will never be sold no matter what.
My Dads Rock River AR he bought like right after the ban ended. It was the first AR I ever shot and my First AR that I bought is super similar to it because I like that one so much.
My first AR is a double star lower as well i wonder now if they were the only game in Cali at the time. Picked mine up at JR Sports in Livermore in 2007.
I'm a nostalgic person, and while I don't really have a nostalgic memory of any firearms, I recently bought my 1st AR15 rifle and plan to hang onto it. It's a cheap Anderson Manufacturing AM15 that I bought from Sportmans Warehouse. They have mixed reviews, but I bought it to learn the platform and still be able to shoot it while I get to know what I like and don't like, and then build one from scratch. I'm a lefty as well, so I'll be looking into that ambi mag release.
My first AR was a "Colt Match Target Competition HBAR" full 20" A4 rifle. What a mouthful. It was post Roberti-Roos so the name had to be funny. Bought that sometime in the 90's. I sold that gun, and recently built a PSA A2/A4 Classic rifle to reproduce it. I still have my second and third AR builds, a Bushmaster carbine from '99 and a CalGuns SB-23 lower – Stag upper build from '07. My most recent are last year, but I still keep all my old builds for nostalgia like you. 🙂

Here because you're my hero.
Thanks for sharing. I’m thankful for your videos!
My first rifle was in 2018 american tactical from turners lol I changed all the plastic stuff and bought milspec parts and still have it to this day
I still have my first firearm.
What is going on with your voice?
I regret ever gun I've sold. Save for one 10/22 that I then got a takedown 10/22. But my big regret was selling my p99 gen1

Not watching video just asking if the rifle changed you into vegan too??
Shout out to the MVP of Kalifornia for keeping the fight going!
That front sight is a part from ggg. They don't sell it because it's only for that dominator upper

Hopefully FPC will Do something with CA.
Californians are like "it's not so bad I only have to blow Gavin every other day"
Mr. Stoner does not approve 😂😂😂

Thanks dad!
Those featureless grips look like they are hard to hold, can slip in your hand and are very dangerous. Stupid law!
One if my favorite gun videos
Always interesting hearing about how people fall into hobbies.
My first AR is a double star lower as well i wonder now if they were the only game in Cali at the time. Picked mine up at JR Sports in Livermore in 2007.
Bought my first ar15 when the federal "assault weaons" ban ended. An LMT patrol model and still have it.
Can somebody PLEASE create a CAD file of an improved version (little wider) of that featureless grip.

When I came home from the Military I bought my first rifle, and the bullet button was in it, first thought was: So it begins
