It's between a Colt Python 6" blue vs a S&W 686 6" stainless> I regret selling either.
I have made up for it somewhat with a recently purchased GP100 and an LCR 357.
Glock 19 for me. I know its a common gun, but damn, Glocks fit my hand perfect. Anyway, I ended up trading it in on something else that I didn't end up liking. 4 years later, I have another G19 and carry it almost daily!
S&W Model 39-2 fit my hand perfectly, just thought I needed more than 8, why I don't know. Thin enought to cc and big enough to shoot accurately. It was a well made handgun and dependable.
1st generation XD subcompact 9MM. I loved that gun, but I needed the money more than I needed it (at least in my own mind at the time) so I sold it. Luckily I sold it to my brother, so I still get to visit it every once in a while.
A rare, limited importation, FN Baracuda 357 six shot 3" revolver. These
also had 9MM cylinders available, but only overseas. These were
related to the Astra 357 revolver. Great gun, stupid me!
An original Colt SAA that went for $125.00 back in the mid-70's ( yes, I was much younger, and not too smart about SAA Colts) Although the money did go towards buying a 70's series 1911 ..........
The very first pistol that I ever owned was a blued Ruger Single Six that my Brother gave me as an 18th birthday present. Don't even remember now why I sold or traded it, but I was young and not as sentimental back then. I have a nicer stainless SS now, but wish I had kept that first one.
I've spent the last three years trying to buy like examples of pistols I long ago sold or traded away to get another I wanted. But two I have not replaced are the 4" Diamondback 22 and the nickle S&W Mdl 29 in 44 Magnum......doubt I'll ever turn loose of the money for either.
But I now once again own a Browning Challenger, a S@W Model 34, a Hamden High Standard 4.5" Victor, and several 4.5" Colt Match Target 22's. I just love 22 pistols.
regretfully stolen... outside my workplace on 5/6, purchased on 4/30... a sig p239 in .357 sig along with other valuables. all i can hope is that the perpetrator shoots themselves, and i'd get it back in a few months.
i only had 400 rounds through it... sunsabeaches... (long sigh)
My first one. It was a stainless S&W Mod 59 9mm with custom pearl grips. I inherited it from an Uncle and the ex made me sell my guns when the first child was born.. I should have kept the gun and traded in the ex.
