I had a S&W 686 with a 3" barrel and a round butt. It was a bit large for concealed carry, so I traded it for something a little lighter. Right after I traded it, I received my new copy of "Guns & Ammo" and it had an article on the Smith and Wessons that never were. It seems my gun was an overrun on a U.S. Customs order.
all three of mine where at the same time a colt rail gun, a S&W M&P45, and a Beretta 92FS. All traded for a Sport quad that was bad@$$ but i hated to get rid of them. I still miss them and regret to have done it.
My sig 230. I missed it so much that I bought two 232 pistols a month later after selling the 230. The 230/232 platform is a pleasure to carry and incredibly accurate
Every. Single. One. And I've (unfortunately) sold my fair share of guns.
I had a Walther PPK. Hit a tight spot and sold it to a friend on the agreement that he'd hold on to it for me until things got better and I could by it back from him. A few months later, when I had things squared out and tried, he told me that he'd sold it off at a gun shop a few weeks before. I was .. upset.
I inherited a couple of good guns from my father - a Ruger Bearcat, Colt pre-Woodsman and a Browning "Baby" 25. sold them all off like a damn fool.
Traded a perfectly good Charter Arms Undercover for a lemon S&W model 36.
Sold off a S&W model 1917 for pennies against what they're selling for now.
Bought a Norinco 1911 back when they first came out for less than $300 NIB. Used ones go for twice that now.
Perhaps worst of all, a little over a decade ago, I was able to build up quite a nice little collection. Then I met a woman who had excellent persuasive abilities, a dislike of firearms in general and a complete lack of money management skills. Every month, she'd come around, complaining of her lack of money for bills, followed by "you don't really need all those guns, do you?...." Next thing ya know, I'd be down at the gun store, selling off one of my collection. One by one they all went until I was left with nothing but my beloved USP, until eventually even that one had to be sold off to pay the bills.
That woman is history now, and I've started to rebuild my collection.
Sadly I'm a lower middle class person, so I've had to sell a few guns that I regret:
1. (and the saddest of all) Kimber Grand Raptor II
2. Beretta Px4 Storm 9mm
3. Glocks 17, 19, 26, 22, and 27
The only two guns that don't make me sad thinking about are a crappy Raven Arms .25 and a Ruger Super Single Six.
