For years I've been telling people who are thinking about selling, trading or otherwise getting rid of their revolvers (or even autos) some fairly straightforward advice:
DON'T DO IT!!
Based on my experience, the odds are overwhelming that they'll regret it -- especially if they get rid of a gun because they need the money. Money needs come and go, but once a gun is gone, it's gone.
Yet people still do it and then later (months or years) they're kicking themselves. :banghead:
So why can't we learn from our mistakes? Even if the guns aren't as great as we thought they were, they will be even better in our minds, our tortured psyches. We will be bitter old men with shimmering memories of guns we'll never see again.
Ah, well, at least there's next year's models....
