I carry a S & W Model 640, and practice with a Model 66-2 does THAT count?

This is a strange answer, but I regret selling a Taurus 689 with 6" barrel. It was the first revolver I bought and I traded it toward my first FAL (THERE is an addiction of it's own). I also regret selling the pristine ChiCom SKS spiker I owned. It was without a single blemish. Paid about $200...
