how many of you are still kicking your self over a gun you wish you hadnt sold?

[LightningMan]

Besides regret selling a few, I regret not buying a couple at one time, as they had a great price tag. LM

 

[benderx4]

I've sold a bunch over the years, but my only regret was an older HK USP45 with stainless steel slide that handled and shot perfectly. Oh well ...... live and learn.

 

[GRAPE-DRANK]

Smith and Wesson 625 pd. Awesome Carry, The recoil would separate the range re-load bullets from the casing and the recoil was a little steep, but man what an easy carry and reload. I have kicked myself for not buying the full size pd when I had the chance.

my problem

my problem is not being able to find another one i can buy.if i would have known i wouldnt be able to replace it , i would have figured out another way to raise the extra cash i needed.i think next time i'll sell a kiddny before i sell one of my guns

When I was starting out, I was considering selling my XD9 and getting a KT P-11. The salesman at my LGS said keep the Springfield and get the Kel Tec. That was great advice, I would have missed the XD had I sold it and the way things are going now, value can only go up.

I sold a S&W 686-4 a while back to finance another gun purchase. I'm still kicking myself!

[dpart77]

I also sold a Desert Eagle two tone 357. It was really stupid!!!! Won't sell another gun to pay bills that could have been paid with other means. Still kick myself

 

[Caliper_Mi]

Haven't sold one yet. You guys are just reminding me to do my best to keep it that way!

 

[PabloJ]

I do not miss any that I had and sold. I kept the only one that matters the PA-15. I learned to write with French Bic pen and remember French wine and cognac at parties my parents had for special guests at their home when I was child. Amazingly the same 4-color pen can be purchased at Walmart for about $3.50 and it's still MADE IN FRANCE. A plastic pen not made in china (now often marked made in PRC to confuse ignorant shoppers) that is precious.

Ive had two guns i regret ever selling.
1. Was a Mossberg 12 gauge bullpup about 20 years ago which are almost impossible to find these days and if you do its price is 3x-4x what i paid back then.

2. This happened about 2 years ago when i was attempting to keep all my handguns as usefull ccw weapons id carry, So i felt i had no place for a .25 cal pistol.
It was a 97% condition CZ VZ45 made in 1947 and it shot very reliably. It had a build quality as good as any mid grade 1911 has today.

 

[saturno_v]

My general rule is not selling guns at all (unless I may have a need in the future, you never know the future)

The only 2 firearms I did sold are:


- EAA Witness 10mm...I could not part faster from that POS.

- Chiappa 1911 in 22 LR...it was an impulse buy, did not even look well at it....once at home I noticed the horrible finishing and the smell of the pot metal construction.....sold it 2 days later without even firing it.


So good riddance, no regrets at all!!

 

[mokin]

The more I hear people bad mouth Ravens the more I wish I'd kept mine.....

 

[bamarobbie]

Sweet little Beretta 70s 22lr- never sell what can't be easily replaced!

 

[foghornl]

Got a few i wish i still had...

Rem "Sportsman model" 20-Ga (BOOT!)

Marlin Camp Carbine .45 ACP Boot! Boot! Boot! Kick!

My first center-fire revolver stolen from me...One of the last "3-Screw Old Model" .357 Blackhawks, 6-1/2" barrel

 

[IMTHDUKE]

A pristine Colt Python 4in nickel....what was I thinkin

 

[Lakeshore]

The one that grieves me the most was a really nice Astra 600 that I acquired when I was in college, then later sold when times were lean.

Now if I wanted to buy one in comparable condition it would cost me approximately 10X what I let mine go for.

 

[Jim NE]

The one I regretted the most was a Ted Williams (Sears) lever action 30-30. Does anybody remember those? It was made by Winchester and pretty much looked like one aside from some minor cosmetic differences. It was my first high powered rifle, good quality, and was quite accurate. I bought it new for $119 about 30 years ago when Sears was closing out all of their firearms due to a frivolous (in my opinion) lawsuit.

I don't worry about it much anymore. At least I still have the first gun I ever owned - A Winchester .22 model 190. Since this is the revolver section, the handgun I miss the most was the first good quality revolver I ever owned - a Ruger .357 Blackhawk. Easy enough to replace, but I'll never get that particular weapon back.

 

[wembley]

I regret several including a Kimber SIS Ultra and a H&K P7M13. Now the rule is not to sell anything that can not be easily replaced.

 

[HankB]

Traded a Colt Diamondback (2 1/2" barrel, .22 rimfire) towards a post-'64 M70 in .30/06. Diamondback - an 8th grade graduation present - has gone up in value, M70 hasn't . . . but I've hunted enough with the M70 that I have plenty of memories to make up for the loss of the Diamondback.

 

[railroader]

The one I regret selling was a cz75b military. Normally cz triggers are just ok but this one broke clean and had almost zero takeup in single action. I got this major glock 17 urge so I sold the cz. After upgrading the glock with sights and other parts I still couldn't shoot it worth a crap so it got sold and replaced by a ruger p95 which I like better than the glock. But how in the heck did I get from a cz 75 to a ruger p95?

 

[Casefull]

I do not sell them either...They seem to be at least as good as stocks.

 

[Kendal Black]

I don't let it bother me. I concentrate on the skill set, not the tool kit.

So long as I have some guns well suited to my needs and abilities, it doesn't matter so much which ones they are. What I need is a gun I know how to run, chambered for something that will do the job at hand.

For example, I'm instantly comfortable handling any of the Smith Hand Ejector's numerous descendants, for it's a style of gun I've used and liked for a long time. I cannot own them all, of the many millions made, but then I do not need them all. They are in a sense interchangeable, for they work alike (of course there are nicer and worser examples). So I need not be concerned with keeping all I may acquire.

So long as I have a small assortment in various sizes, I have plenty. I didn't always think so, but then I shifted my thinking off of the tool set and onto the practical uses.

 

[gofastman]

Taurus M66 6"
Its not that I sold it, its that i didn't take it off a guys hands for $100.

I was holding it for a friend, he lived on campus, I didn't.
when he graduated he offered to sell it to me.
