What gun do your regret selling THE MOST?

A year ago I tradeoff my Glock 17 for a Smith&Wesson 625. I wish my Glock back.

I live here in Switzerland so I can't just go to gun shop and buy me a new like you in the USA :) They are some paperwork to do......
 
Every Glock model I have sold I turned around and bought the same model again. No more sell of Glocks. Pops
 
Savage model 110 NRA edition. It was beautiful, and only after i sold it did i find out they only made 800 of them.
 
S&W Mod 25-7 and Mod 25-9, both in 45 Colt. Sold them to pay for textbooks and tuition. Still kicking myself.
 
A Laughridge (pre-Cylinder & Slide) Series 70 Combat Commander, with Bar-Sto barrel, K-frame rear sight, (that tells you how long ago this was) red ramp front and Swenson Ambi.

Early 90's S&W 586, 6". My first firearm, and most accurate handgun I've ever shot. Still trying to get it back.
 
H-K P7M8. It shot like a laser beam. I paid $400 for it 20 years ago. I shot it a lot. Over time my interests changed and I needed a rifle........... Traded it for $600 worth of rifle, new Ruger 77 308 with a Redfield scope, ^&*#@! At the time I thought I was quite the gun trader; live and learn. That Ruger is long gone! I still have fond memories of that P7.........
 
I have sold two had two stolen and gave one to my brother.

The one I sold was a rem 1100 I loved that shotgun. But I had to pay the rent.

The other gun I sold was (I hate to say it) a Lorcin 380 acp. It would jam every other shot if I was lucky enough to get it to go that long. Many times I called it my Single shot semi-auto. I bought it for $99 in CA :what: and sold it for $150 in TX :what:. I did kind of feel bad for taking the guy for that much on it but oh well.
 
I've only traded never sold. Don't miss either a Lorcin and Tec-9, the Lorcin wasn't all that horrible the tec was.
 
*sigh* Why bring tears to my eyes?

When I got laid off and needed money, I only had two guns at the time. It was a toss-up between a Winchester 94 Trapper AE or a Mossberg 590-A1.

Yep, I sold the Winchester. A year later, Winchester was gone and the price of that Trapper nearly doubled.

*sigh*
 
Two guns: A WWII Walther P-38 that was one of the most accurate pistols I've ever shot. :what: Sold it because the chamber was so rough that I'd sometimes have to shoot the chambered round to get it out. :eek: Should have lapped the chamber and kept it.

The other was a WWII era Mauser HSc in .32 ACP. Great little carry piece and very accurate. Sear got worn to the point it started doubling, so I traded it to a gunsmith. Should have had him get me a new sear and fix it.
 
A Sig P239 in 9mm. It was a factory rebuild, loose and sorta dinged up, but it could shoot, and it was a great carry gun. I sold it in hard times. It had to happen, but I regret the hell out of it.
 
I've replaced almost everyting I was stupid enough to sell off years ago except for two guns that I regreat the most, an HK P9S and a Desert Eagle .357 magnum. When I do replace them I't's going to cost me double what I got for them.

Note to self: never sell another gun. Never, never, never.
 
My XD-Service

I sold My SA-XD .45acp all black service model to a friend at work who had just gotten the shooting bug. That gun never had a failure of any kind. The finish was perfect! The guy Loves it. I could not live without it! Soooo I replaced it finally this week with a new XD .45acp Service model OD green with a black slide. I about ---- when I got it home and discovered it had a couple of machine marks on the very front of the slide. I fixed that with a sharpie pen and some quality gun oil. [sounds crazy, but it worked quite well.] My wife discovered I bought it last night. After the Para-Medics got her breathing again, I think she will be OK.;) I think the XD was the one that pushed the poor woman over the edge-because I purchased three guns in the last four weeks.:evil: They should have never given me a Cabela's credit card:eek: Its the only card I get email statements for, so I can hide the my gun purchases.:D Oh well all is peaceful now. The wife is at work and I am going to shoot my new gun:)

The Best To All!

I had an Argentine (made by DWM) M1909 Mauser rifle in new condition. It even had a pretty piece of walnut for a stock.

And, in about 1984, I sold it...

I also had a Chilean (also made by DWM) M1895 Mauser rifle in new condition. I also sold it...

I still kick myself over both...

I was going to say I regretted selling my first Colt 1911 Parkerized Series 80 - but while I miss it, I have two other 1911s (without the gizmo series 80 safety) and I just hope whoever has it is enjoying it.

The gun I actually regret selling was a Taurus PT940 - that gun never jammed, was easy to shoot accurately and with rosewood grips was frankly elegant. The nice thing is that Taurus still makes it, so....

Except for an out-of-box failure with a revolver w/ bad timing (which the dealer took back on another gun right away), I don't really have a 'glad I dumped it' gun.
