I sold a Colt Python 357mag 2.5" barrel, Colt Anaconda 45 Colt 6" barrel. But the one I miss the most was a Colt Officer's ACP 45ACP in bright stainless steel it was the most beautiful gun I've ever owned. :(
 
I had one of the 1st edition Ruger SP-101 in 3" with the "For 125 grain bullets only". Man it was a shooter ! I still get misty eyed and a tear will fall just thinking about her..:( :( :(
 
NIB Colt 1911(A1) Series 70 Govt. Model Nickel .45ACP. Thought it was too shiny. Saw one the other day for sale for 2.5 times what I had in mine. Hinesight is indeed 20/20.
 
I sold several when I plain and simple needed the money. Those were hard decisions, but I accept them. Among the guns I sold to obtain other guns, however, there is one significant regret.

My Colt Series 80 blued Government Model (serial #FG66500): If any of you runs across it and wants to sell it, I'm the one to talk to. If you don't want to part with it, you've got a fine pistol on your hands. I just hope whoever has it is treating it nice. The CZ75 that took its place could not fill that .45's shoes.

I've traded off prettier, rarer, and more expensive guns, but none like that one. I just get attached to a pistol once I've carried it for years. When the bluing wears thin under the gripping position of your own fingers, you stand a good chance of valuing that gun above its market worth.
 
Ok, there is one I'm sorry I let go, but it ain't a gun. Ran into her last week. Won't let her go again. :)

Oh wait, there is one gun I'm sorry I let go, a Beretta 92FS, could have been fixed pretty easily. Oh well. :)
