When have you NOT regretted selling a gun?

[denfoote]

When I sold my Ruger P95 and P97 to a weaponless friend and used the proceeds to buy my Glock 30SF and had professional trigger job done to it. Everyone was pleased.

Some of the "Hall Of Shame" members:

Taurus 83, first and worst revolver I've ever had, even the 100+ year old H&R with the plating peeling off it from age, along with a generous helping of rust from sitting in a box in a friend's dad's garage from WWII until 2006 functioned better (It shot two cylinders worth of 32 S&W without a problem, the Taurus had to have lead chiseled out of the forcing cone every six shots or it would lock up). It did have an excellent plating job on it though, better than many higher priced guns I've had and seen.

Any of the .22, .25, .32, and .380 back up guns I had that never worked very well. I had at least half a dozen PPK clones and none of the were worth anything, so I bought a REAL PPK, and it was only slightly better. I ended up keeping my Beretta 950, a gun that always worked. The .22 FTL Auto-Nine was the worst one, blowing extractors even when I used the insanely hard to find ".22 standard velocity" ammo they said it required.

By really pretty Browning HP. What a POS. A high priced paperweight.

AMT Everything.

My Colt Combat Commander, worse than the High Power, and a lot more expensive. The last 1911 gun I've owned.

There are many more, almost all of the dud guns were bought new.

A Colt Anaconda in 45 LC. Gun unreliable. Shot very well but had trouble with cocking it and then have it would freeze up. Wouldn't fire but after messing around with it would. It wouldn't do it everytime but it did happen several times. Barrel was also out of line as it shot to the right and after I adjusted the sights all the way to the right it still was to the right. Sent it back to Colt for that repair at which time when it came back the other problem popped up. Traded it to a person who was collecting them with the knowledge that there was trouble with it. I couldn't trade it to him without telling of my problems with it.

I have sold many and regret selling none. They are just possesions, holding them with an open hand is the best policy. Those that I have sold over the years were let go for various reasons, and I made up my mind ahead of time it was the right thing to do.

 

[Jonah71]

I' ve sold a Sigma, an 8mm turk with poor rifling, and a Stevens bolt action 20 gauge. I don't miss any of them, but I was REALLY happy to see the "SMAGMA" go. What a piece.

Have heard this from many people. I almost bought a SIGMA. Guess that's better than selling one.

 

[mgkdrgn]

Sold a good old Mossberg 640KB "Chuckster" to a fellow a year or so ago. I'd had that gun for 30 years, but had no regrets. I had no more need for it, and he put it to good use keeping the coyotes out of his chickens!

 

[mata777]

The time that I took 2 chinese break barrel airguns that did't work to the chicago gun buy. I was hoping to get $10 a piece for them. The police officer that inspected them said they were .22's (they were .177 cal), I took the $200 for both of them. The $200 were turned into primers and powder at my local cabelas. Priceless moment.

 

[killchain]

I pushed out a Sig P250 that couldn't hit anything at all. Only thing I regret about it is the loss I took moving it out of my gun safe.

But then the FNP45 moved in. I LOVE HER. Her name is Wolfmother.

 

[Onward Allusion]

Taurus 1911 - got what I paid for it, too.

What wonderful law enforcement we have employed. (sarcasm)

 

[EddieNFL]

S&W 659 about 25 years ago. More recently, a Kimber Tactical Custom.

 

[Steve 48]

I got a Jennings 25ACP from an auction and was never so happy to trade that piece of crap!!

 

[jbrown50]

An early produced Kahr MK9 and a stainless Colt officers .45. Both jammed more than an '80s hip-hop DJ.

A Ruger Mini 14. It was about as accurate as the Brady's gun crime statistics.

 

[orionengnr]

Never regretted...

One Rossi M69.
Four Kel-Tecs (one P11, one P32, two P3ATs).
Three Colt 1911s, one of each size.
Two Glocks (one G23 and one G19).
And a bunch of others.

The shorter answer would be to the question: What do I regret selling?
That would be:

One Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry.
And, from time to time, my EMP....

 

[Jackal]

I have never regretted selling any firearm, ever. They are just guns and any gun sold can be purchased again if the need ever arises.

 

[Orion8472]

I sold my Hi-Point 995 carbine a couple of months ago. It was my first gun. . . well, sort of. I purchased a 995 in late 1999, and it was a great gun. Quite accurate. About a year ago, the firing pin broke. I called Beemiller about having them send me a new one, but they convinced me to send it in for them to repair and replace updated items. I did. When it came back, they had replaced the barrel. It was never all that accurate again. In fact, with a scope, it was only getting about a 5 . . yes FIVE inch group at 50 yards. It was extremely unacceptable to me. . . . .so I sold it. My regret was that Beemiller replaced my accurate barrel. But that's okay. . . I no longer have a rifle that gave me "cheek slap".

 

[welldoya]

I can't even begin to remember all the ones that I have sold and not regretted.
There have been 3 or 4 Colt ARs. Hunting rifles and shotguns of all descriptions and many handguns. I used to see all sorts of bargains on used guns back in the 80s and 90s. I would buy one, play with it a couple of months and sell it if I didn't love it.
There have also been a couple that I do regret selling. (A Steyr GB and a Colt Model 70 Commander Lightweight come to mind)
I like the attitude of some of you guys - they are just "things".
I wouldn't sell the Savage 24 that I received for Christmas in 1969, nor the S&W Model 17 that I bought new in 1975. There are a few favorites that fill a need for hunting, self-defense and target shooting. The rest wouldn't kill me to sell them.

You shouldn't sell heirlooms. Everything else? By-by for the right price...

 

[john44402]

I had a Glock model 21.

The thing was just too fat for my average sized hands, and thus far is the only handgun that give me FTF's with my handloads. Light primer strikes.

It was quite accurate though.

 

[Ringer]

In the "no regret" category, might be forgetting something:
Kel Tec P3AT - ugh.
S&W Model 65 Ladysmith - too big for me to EDC.
Para Ordinance Para Carry 3.5" LDA - jamomatic.
Para Ordinance Commander size LDA - manual of arms standardization.
HK USP Full Size .45 ACP - grip size and manual of arms standardization.
Winchester Stealth .308 - no long distance range to shoot at, too heavy for other uses.

While I have a couple regrets, luckily that list is shorter.

 

[hadmanysons]

Keltec P-11. Jam machine and it was very small to hold.

 

[The Tomcat]

Bought a Taurus PT101 for $299 and sold it after 500rds for $350. It was actually a great range gun, but useless to me otherwise.

 

[Ala Dan]

When I sold my Arminus "Burgo" model .22 LR caliber revolver to my now
deceased father in-law for $25.00~!

 

[smithmax]

Sold a Winchester 62a that I inherited from a bad family member. It paid for my CHL, class, and holsters.
