do you regret getting rid of a firearm?

[6mm Shoot]

I wish I had every gun that I ever sold or traded. I wish I had every one of them back.

 

[JBTate]

I traded a Stevens 22/410 over/under for a Crossman pump pellet pistol back in High School.
Bad idea, but I wanted and handgun.

I regret getting rid of my G23 and down sizing to a 26. However, I will be back in the market for a 23 as soon as I come across one that fits the bill.

There are several that come to mind but one in particular comes to mind.
I had a Bushmaster arm pistol in electroless nickel. It's the only one I've ever seen other than a picture.

I can't really say I regret it because I had to. I regret having to get rid of them though. I started out as a collector of WW2 guns. I no longer have the Russian M44, M38, 2 or 3 91/30's, US M1 Garand (all matching 1943 war horse), pristine un-issued 1903-a3 from 1943, K98 Mauser... This thread is a downer, I'm going to quit thinking about it. At this point the politics forum would cheer me up.

Several come to mind:
A Colt Diamondback .38 Special, 6" in royal blue that I had $60 in, that deal also included 5 boxes of ammo. I sold it for $350 minus the shot up ammo.
A Colt Mustang .380 acp
A Colt King Cobra, .357 magnum, stainless steel with 4" barrel that I bought new for a little over $325

The ONE that I didn't sell or trade but had to "get rid of" none the less.... The fully operational, 90% condition, WW II vintage, MG-42 that I had for 6 months in Sarajevo, Bosnia that I had to leave behind when I re-deployed.
It was picked up on a weapons harvest and sat in the corner of my office except on special occasions when I would take it out front of the U.S. National Intelligence Cell, where I in charge of security, and set it up on the bipod at the main entrance.

Because of money issue, I had to sell my 1911 and I really liked it. I wish I wasn't having money trouble at the time.

 

[Hoosierman]

My first handgun was a CZ70, I wasn't well versed in the law, thought it would be better to sell it at a gun shop, I think I got maybe $120 out of it. Regret it all the time, currently looking for one to replace it.

 

[Ebrueckmann]

I sold a DPMS LR-308 about a month before the **** hit the fan.... and I sold it for a loss. If only Id waited just a few months.

 

[MordecuS]

I dont miss the few guns that I've sold over the years. I sold them for a reason. Primarily because I didn't want them any longer . I have had a handful stolen and I miss each of them dearly, primarily for their sentimental value. The only one that didnt have any real emotional attachment was a Saiga 7.62x39. I bought it at Bradis for around $200 when they first started showing up in gun shops... if I had only known they would be impossibly expensive today, I have bought 10

ANOTHER victim of Sandy Hook! Can we have a benefit for this guy?

 

[indiucky]

Oh if you only knew!

Et tu Brutus? Et Tu?

 

[led4thehed2]

Not yet!
I've sold both Remington 870s I've owned: I guess shotguns aren't my thing, and it took me two times to learn the lesson. I also got rid of a Savage .243 rifle that I thought I'd use to hunt, but never got into hunting, so I sold that.

I sold an XD9SC to my Dad, and sold a GLOCK 26. Didn't like either of them as much of my GLOCK 19, so I sold 'em.

 

[Rfrantz3]

i miss my m2!!! I wish we would have kept it!!!!

 

[Birds Away]

Each and every one.

 

[jaybird_123]

Traded a Bond Arms 45LC/410, love what I traded for, but miss the 45/410 also. Will never trade/sell again.

 

[Span24]

Not one I've sold. However, I would give just about any one I currently have to get back the Winchester Model 94 30-30 (pre 64) my dad gave me when I entered the military 35 years ago. It was stolen when I left it with a 'friend' to go overseas....

 

[Lebowski]

Yes, though I bought it back. I was willing to buy it back at a higher price but got it back for what I sold it for. So I felt bad, expressed my regret, bought it back.

 

[Jimb]

I sold a .41 S&W..........miss it, and dont want to pay the new prices these days for another

 

[Zephri]

I regret getting rid of a lot of guns.
