What handguns have you re-bought?

Ruger GP-100.

I have owned 10 of them over the years, and would sell one to buy another gun I thought I wanted to "scratch an itch", and then I would always buy another GP later on. I currently have three, and I think I will hold on to them this time (famous last words) :).

Just my .02,
LeonCarr
 
Glock 17 (had to pay rent)

Browning BDA .380 (nickel) (same reason)

Bought ones to replace them years later - will never sell them again!

Ok, I guess it's time for an update...

Add to the list:

S&W 629 (Had one, sold it, bought another)
Super Redhawk--might be a stretch. I traded the 10" for the 7"
GP100--have three of these now in varying barrel lengths and sight configurations.
Makarov--have two
CZ-52--have two
Ruger Old Army--sold my blued model & bought a stainless years later.
Have doubles on Glock 17 and Glock 20 handguns.
 
Had a Glock 23 stolen. Bought a Glock 22 and just didn't like it as well. Bought another Glock 23.
 
First pistol was a Ruger Standard Auto 6" in 1959. Sold it to help bankroll a 1st gen Colt SAA; finally replaced it with another in 4 3/4" about 35 years later.

Two M28 S&Ws in 4" bbl. May get a third one and keep it this time around. Too big for me but great old guns anyway.

Ruger 3 screw Blackhawk .357. Missed it to some extent so grabbed one of the 50th Anniversary ones when they came out.

Model 19 4". Too young and dumb to appreciate it properly and thought the recoil was a bit much with .357s. Eventually figured out that it was manageable but shot Ruger Security/Service/Speed Sixes instead. Recently got a very nice M66 which serves the purpose.

Selling guns is usually a fairly bad idea unless you really despise the piece. And I have had a few of those come through. With them most of the pleasure comes when you walk away (sort of like the wrong kind of girl friend).
 
I've never sold a gun.

But I caused a NUMBER of people to buy FEG hi-power clones when they were cheap and truly clones. I recall placing an order with a local dealer for three of them at once. (@ $225 each)

Later my dad and another friend bought FEG clones after shooting mine. they both set theirs up exactly like mine... I've literally gone to a shooting match with a 'clone' of my clone in my range bag. I still might buy another... even with the wierd Charles Daly rollmark FEG's are darn good pistols.
 
P7M8x3
Will be buying my 3rd P239
Multiple 1911
HiPower x2
Finally getting through to me to not sell as I end up taking a loss on the sale then re-buy for more than I originally planned.
Since you can only use 1 gun at a time, still can't figure out why I need (or have needed) so many. It is an expensive past time and passion.

I have never re-bought a gun really, but I have bought multiple versions of several pieces. A couple of different versions of the Ruger MkII, and for the right price I will always buy more, which also applies to 10/22's. If I run across another P90 in good shape cheap, I will definitely buy another of those, although I am not necessarily chomping at the bit to do so. I have two SKS's, and although I am happy with the two that I have, right price on the right gun..... I would really like to buy another H&R Sportsman 999, in the worst way. I love those 999's. As far as re-buying, its possible that I may pick up another Contender one day, although again, I am not necessarily rip-rarin' to go on that.
 
Not really the same gun, because when I have sold something it was to get something else that was better.

Well, this one is sort of the same. I sold a 4" 686 (even though my son loved it) because it just felt too barrel heavy to me. Didn't balance in my hand the way I wanted it to. I later found a 4" 586 with the barrel lug cut down to resemble a 29. This one fits just right!
 
This thread was started almost two years ago to the day. I think it is spooky when threads come back from the dead like this.:what:
 
I bought back a S&W 625-2 from a friend, still have it. I usually do not buy the exact same gun back though but I do own multiples of the same exact same gun some times, usually not more than 2 though or try to have at least a difference in finish or barrel lentgh or such.

I also have sold guns such as Tokarevs but have bought another example later.

Do have 3 Russian SKS though but one is a different year and they have differences in stocks. Have 2 CZ52 pistols, 3 10/22's, 7 Makarovs and three of them are Bulgarian military. I did know someone who would own 5-6 of the same exact gun like 5 or 6 PA63's.

I guess they were a little different, they have different serial numbers after all!

It's DAWN OF THE DEAD THREAD. Okay if you should find yourself locked in your study surrounded by dead threads that now animated and want to eat all your vowels what weapon would you want? :D :neener:

I've never sold and then bought back a gun. Whne they're gone they're gone.........though I am sort of kind of looking for a Colt Lawman Mk III. Oh my god I'm doing it now also.:eek:
 
SIG P220 .45 ACP (03-31-95) as I sold the first one to a brand new rookie
police officer in my department.:uhoh:

More recently, 2X Colt Detective Specials (2nd series 1947-1972) that I
had many years ago.

Also, in April of 2001 I replaced a 4" Smith & Wesson L-frame 686 with
one that has a 6" barrel.

And, just the other day I bought a used but not abused (trade-in)
S&W 2.5" barrel model 66, to replace one that I had back in the
mide 70's.

And Oh yes, I bought a NIB stainless Springfield WW-II G.I. .45 ACP
too keep my parkerized one company.

I'm sure that there must be a few other's that I can't think of at this
time~!:confused:
 
rebought............

Berretta 92's, Ithaca 37's and HKusp 40's i sell and keep rebuying like an idiot. Will never sell the HP p2000 40 cal w/lem trigger group though. for that matter I have learned my lesson. It costs more to replace the goodones, sell something else instead of your guns. Ithaca not a hand gun of course....
