Biggest Regret?

No Regerts

Mannlicher-Schoenauer 1952 Carbine chambered in .257 Roberts full length stock, double set triggers........

 

[mod1911a]

S&W Model 27 Blue w/3-1/2" (pinned) barrel. Bought it at a pawn shop in near perfect condition for a little under $300 in early 90's. Traded it at a gun show for a shotgun a few years later to fund a shotgun to get back into duck hunting when I didn't have much "disposable" income.
I still feel physically ill to this day when I think about that trade.
And there was that Colt Trooper, and that...........

 

[mod1911a]

S&W Model 66 .357 in stainless with 2 inch barrel. Was super accurate but had to sell when in school and have always regretted. Now have a no sell policy.

I feel that pain, believe me.

 

[mod1911a]

S&W Nickel Model 19 2.5 inch barrel .357 magnum I traded for several guns in 1984.

Ohhhhhhh!

I would think my beretta 21 I think, it was a 25 acp and also an H&R 22 revolver 9 shot.

It’s not so much the sold part, although I would like to have both back, it’s what I sold them for, probably $100 each.

I do have a couple on my Don’t sell list now. A Beretta 92X and a Taurus PT92 in Stainless. The striker fired wonder pistols are too plentiful and easy to come by.

S&W Nickel Model 19 2.5 inch barrel .357 magnum I traded for several guns in 1984.

I sold one of these or $900 about 12 years ago, never regretted selling it. For me it became a safe King.

WHOA! I had an H&R Model 999 "Sportsman" 9-shot .22 that I also regret trading off one day. Nice little gun, good lucking with the vent rib barrel, and pretty accurate. It sucked back in the day when I had to trade or sell some gun to get another. I literally have a sheet of paper, two columns, of every gun I ever had.

I had an H&R 999 revolver back in the day . First handgun I ever owned . I wish I had held on to it , but ...

I saw one on here looked to be in good condition for $125 a year or 2 ago. I was the 2nd one asking about it, the 1st already had it pending funds, of course that locked it up.

I see them in gun shows every once and awhile in the $200.00 range--there are still a few out there if you're still interested---

 

[JB-Glock21]

S&W 65-5 3 inch - Sold it back in 2013

 

[Gofish]

Early 80's new S&W 686-6" which I think cost around $300. Pawned it to buy Humminbird fish finder for my boat. Fish finder trash now, 686 prolly worth $700-800 maybe. Stupidest thing I've regretted.

I plan to go to the next show. Thanks.

I sort of regret most every firearm I sold over the years. Like 37 years worth. My first was a Marlin 44 mag lever rifle i purchased new at West Gibsons in Laplace for $135 with taxes, now worth 5 or 6 hundred $ I'm sure. Or the Browning 308 lever action I sold to a guy I worked with when his house trailer burned to the ground. Gave him a great deal, the rifle was perfect condition. Beautiful deep bluing finish they just don't do any more. Bought and sold a LOT of pistols over the years, but the three Colt Pythons I purchased new when I had my FFL in the early 1990s, and later sold. Damn, I wish I still had those! And quite a few S&W 44 mag revolvers too, in SS mostly.

Don't regret the Radical Firearms 50 Beo upper I owned and sold. Piece of chit. Radical Firearms is trash imo.

Great replies. I also let go of a marlin 39(not a pistol obviously) in early 90’s to buy van halen tickets. Stood in line for 4 hours then got the word they were sold out. That one still makes me sick.

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 for it in 2010.

 

[bigsk]

Pistol regrets. It's a toss up
1) Pristine Colt 1911 Series 70 Lightweight Commander or
2) NIB 1911 Series 70 Government 38 Super

S&W Model 29, nickle plated in presentation case. Won it in a pistol match (High overall). And a Colt Python 6 inch that I used in competition. Can't figure how I let that go, but it went to a Brother Officer, and he is taking great care of it.

 

[RussnAttitude]

My 458SOCOM AR Pistol. (10.5" barrel). Luckily I sold it to a friend and when money allows he letting me get it back.
