It seems that almost every handgun enthusiast has a story about the gun he wishes he had never parted company with. If you're interested in posting your story of regret, I suspect many on this forum would be interested in reading it.
Here's mine. In 1970 I bought my first revolver, a Smith K-22 Masterpiece .22 Magnum, THTT, with the 8 3/8-inch barrel, like new, for $103--and the guy threw in a tooled holster and belt. It was a beautiful specimen. The truth is I never did much more with it than ventilate cans and paper and one or two woodchucks (though I used to look at it a lot), but I did love that gun. Then in 1973 I met a red-haired woman who rode bicycles, so I sold the Smith for the cash I had in it in order to afford a new Italian ten-speed bike. Needless to say, the redhead and the bike are long gone, but if I still had that K-22 I believe I would be a happier man today.
