31; grew up knowing nothing else but sxs with my grandfather's 1951 Beretta 410E 12g; bought my own sxs - a miroku 500 when I was about 22. sxs just felt and fitted me better generally.
Still have Pop's Beretta; it's the only nitro proved shotgun I have left until I take delivery of a new-old 28b hammer gun in a few weeks... I sold the miroku.

70 this year. My first doubles were 2 given to me when I was about 15 by my father's lawyer friend. One of which was a VHE Parker 16ga with 34" barrels and no safety. Which I kept!!

Turned 55 about a month ago! My dad gave me a Remington 1900 12 ga when I was around 13 or 14. Went through the handgun and rifle stage, and am now back to doubles.

I am 57 this month. I bought my first side by side in my 20's(a spanish gun) but didn't buy another until I picked up a DGJ in 1994 and that volume changed my life.

I am 60. I got my first s x s when I was about 55. I know, a little late but I do shoot them alot. My first was a Browning bbs and the last one I bought a couple of months ago was a Purdey made in 1873. One of the prettiest gun I have ever shot. Thanks for post this, Frank

I am 19. Started shooting doubles when I was 14. My first was a Beretta 686 Onyx. Got my first sxs when I was 15. It was a Miroku built Charles Daly 500 20ga. Haven't had an autoloader or pump since. Doubles are all I shoot... Primarily SXSs.

I'll be 60 this year, and only have one S&S 16 German, but boy is it a beauty. I have my grandfather and my father to thank for the gun, but I want to thank all of you on this site for a greater appreciation of the passion, and for all of your generous help and understanding of these guns. Especially Raimey who solved my
"Mystery" for me.

Kindest Regards,
Rob
