S&W model 13 3in it was stolen with other more "valuable" guns. but there was somthing special about this one. I was able to make hits with it all out of relation to its size. I really want another but I am afraid that the replacement may disappoint.
The first 1886 Winchester I had, it was rebored from 40-65 to 45-70, so had a new bore, and a heavy barrel, extra fancy grade wood.
Colt 3rd gen SAA 44 spl Nickel 4 3/4"
Winchester 1886, 33 Win cal, 24" round light barrel, full mag, shotgun butt, straight grip.
Smith 29 6 1/2" nickel. First 29 I had.
Smtih 29 4 screw 6 1/2"
Colt 1911 made in 1917
Oh well.

It was never mine to begin with...
but it could have been if my father didn't say, "No." I wanted a 12 pdr Napoleon cannon that was at the antique store back around '68. It was only $119.95 and as a third grader, I had the money. My pop did not consent. Today, the barrel would be worth $35k.
At least that's what a reenactor told me last weekend.

My granfather gave me a gun when I was a kid and it was stolen from my house. It was a single shot bolt action .22. I was very young and not sure of the model. I know it was a Remington and I think it was a Model 41. It had a lot of sentimental value to me. I will buy one if I ever see one for sale.

For sentimetal reason: A Remington 870 Express that, when I was young, I used to take out hunting with an Uncle of mine that passed away a few years ago.

An original 1950's pre-dealer sample AR-10. I sold it for $2500 with 5 mags. Each mag was worth $100. The gun today is worth around 8k. I was broke at the time, and wasn't into collecting, just turning them over.

My Savage 30.06 rifle with Accutrigger. I sold it and my Bushmaster AR15 so I could replace the AC on my house.

I traded off a ruger MkII 678 Gvt
...for a portion of a 28 ga. 870. (I included a mauser 98 and a lever 3030 in the trade).
I'd like to still have the .22, but couldn't give up the 28 for it. It's my daughter's gun.

My Beretta 96D .40S&W custom...
I bought a sweet 96D .40S&W in 1997. It was a LE surplus weapon, NIB. The 96D had a RoBar NP3 coating, plated mags, night sights, rubber grips and an extended ported barrel.
I was forced to sell this pistol due to money problems and I now regret it. The 96D did not have a 1913/tactical rail like today's duty pistols but it was a great weapon that worked 100% with factory .40 loads.
I used the big Beretta for home protection/concealed carry. It was a MFer to carry sometimes but I got use to it.

Greed got me;
In 1985 I bought a Daewoo K-2 in 5.56, folding stock, bayo lug, flash hider/compensator and all for $329. Ten years later I took it to a gun show and was hardly in the door when I had $1500.00 in hand and no K-2. I really wish I hadn't done that.
