Guns I wish I'd never let go of?

Gator 45/70 · Mar 16, 2012

Guns are expensive tools/toys but not so out of reach
to make them unobtainable. Occasionally getting a new toy is fun; but
I've never been wealthy so keeping household peace with our humble checkbook required me to do alot of swapping firearms. If I got the urge to "rearrange" the collection.

Not to mention some of us were between job's and one of the fastest way's to keep the lights on at times was to sell a gun that you hated to part with...
So what gun's have you let go of when time's were hard...and you wish you had it back ?

So far nothing and tomorrow I won't own a gun I originally bought. The guns I had were real nice and i liked them all, but I try to trade for things I like just as much.

I loved mine. Short barreled, very quick to draw a bead, it would throw a decent pattern when flushing the bunnies. Very balanced in feel and good tight fit on the parts.
Let me stop now before I lead myself to buy another...

FN FNAR

This was a sweet gun, bit she needed a new home.

Baby eagle full size 9mm. Two different browning hi powers. One was one of the desired ones.

edman87k5 · Mar 16, 2012

have only let go of a few. The one I regret was selling my first .22 because it needed a firing pin. I was a stupid teenager. I hunted for a long time before I found another one just like it to give my son for his first .22.

I have sold a ton over the years. The only ones I would still love to have are the machineguns but it helped pay for my son's adoption so it was worth it. No regrets.

Colt Single Action Army, .45 Colt, 7-1/2" barrel, blued with color casehardened frame, black hard rubber eagle grips, 3rd generation. Bought at TG&Y years ago for around $475.00 new in the box. Shot it a few times and enjoyed it, but we lived hand-to-mouth then. The kids were little and I felt it was selfish to have so much money tied up in a gun when it could be put to better use for the family. Sold it for the hugh (at the time) sum of $600.00 and thought I made out pretty well.

Man...That's some real nice gun's some of you gentlemen had to sell...But sometime's you just have to do something..

A Mossburg 12 ga pump that I got as a teenager. In my 30s I had a two-week stretch during which I had about four full meals, and the gun had to go or I was gonna have to get a smaller place - like 6'x2'x2'. I miss that gun.

Smith 5904 9mm,Ruger Super Redhawk 7.5" barrel .44mag, Ruger .44mag carbine..... :run:

back in the mid 90's, I sold my Colt King Cobra for $500 when I hit a rough patch....

I have replaced it finally after all these years, but only very recently and I feel like I got ripped off....but it was the principle of the matter!!! I did get a good deal on it comparative to the going prices...but still....

I'll never sell another gun again. Ever......Well, maybe just one that will be replaced with a newer model before I put it up for sale....

1076 I really liked that gun

apso1857 · Mar 17, 2012

Colt Target Match with HBAR

FN PS90

Both were sold cause my kids were small, and times were tough. I don't regret getting rid of them due to the fact that I had to do what I had to for my kids, but I sure do miss those weapons.

Trachito · Mar 17, 2012

I had a ruger p89 that I sold. I missed it a lot afterward. I recently borrowed a friend's though, and now I realize I like the gun I bought as its replacement a lot better.
