    I'm just reminiscing on some of the nice or cool stuff that I sold or traded over the years so I've figured I make a thread and see what others have regret getting rid of the most..

    Name the 1 firearm ( up to 3 firearms)that you wish you've never got rid of..
    For me it was

    1.DSA RPD its probably one of the cheapest 7.62x39 beltfed rifle on the market..i paid $2000 for it 3 years ago and ended up selling it for $1600 after a year because I needed the money..now days the RPD is going for around $2500 the cheapest..

    2.SKS D sporter that comes from the factory accepting AK47 mags.it was rare and not the run of the mill sks..also brought 3 years ago in damn near new condition and paid $300 for it from a pawnshop and resold it for i think $700

    3.FN 5.7 brought it 2 months ago from a guy at a pawn shop for a cheap $700.i happen to be at the right place at the right time . previous owner was trying to sell it to the pawnshop while I was there looking for a 45/70 rifle and the pawnshop offered him only $400..i he refused so I asked him what's the lowest hell sell for amd he said $800.At the time I only had $700 so he agreed..ended up getting a $1200 offer for it so I sold it so I can buy something else..

    So anyways let's here it,what about you guys?

    Glock 19 gen 3.
    Yes, they are everywhere but I remember turning 21, saving up money & working my butt off to purchase it.
    Fast forward to may years later, I own a few glocks now but it's always something about your first........:(

    I reached a point where I couldn't justify collecting AKs anymore and dumped them, still regret it often, especially now that replacing them will cost double.

    The ones I regret most:

    I can't say I regret getting rid of any of my firearms, it came to a point that I need some fast cash. Weather i need to pay some bills or even by dinner for the next couple days till i got paid.
    If I had to pick my most missed would be my Springfield 1911 Loaded. It was a retired rental gun at Shooter Club when it was on David Dr. Sold it back to Shooters Club when they open the range on Hickory and it became a rental again. I think they retired it again and sold it.

    My first .22, a Remington 556 Speedmaster. Also, my first M1 Carbine. Both I needed money at the time. I will never sell another gun, unless I'm just not happy with it.

    I've never sold a gun. Don't buy many, but I hang on to them. (Although I have a Kriss Vector I'd love to sell)

    Now I had some stolen. Of them I wish I had the Browning 20ga. over under my dad bought for me when I was about 14. Planned on passing that down to my son.

    STI Trojan 9mm. It refused to run on Winchester white box ammo, and that's all I buy. I should have just fixed it, they sell for $400+ what I paid and traded it for

    A mint 6" blue Colt Python. Sold it right before their value exploded. It makes me sick just thinking about it.

    I owned a couple of them. Sold em 15 years ago :( Wish I had never sold any Colt handgun I owned. Colt Pythons are simply the finest example of the modern revolver, period. Silky smooth action and that deep Colt blued finish. Nobody did a revolver better imo.
