    Dan Wesson 715 HVR Pistol Pack. Or any/all of several Pythons. Or the pair of original Anacondas in 44 and 45 Colt. Or - probably most everything else I've ever sold (as stated above).
    FWIW, I bought 5 Radical Firearms AR-15's (in 5.56) several years ago (graduation presents for grandsons) and they all function perfectly to this day. One had a rough trigger - I called them and had a replacement trigger assembly in hand 3 days later.

    About 25 years ago I sold two Model 19's. One with a 2.5 inch barrel and one with a 4 inch barrel. Used the money to buy my son a hunting rifle.

    I sold a Larry Vickers Glock 19.3 with RTF2 frame a few years ago when I needed some money. For cheap, too.

    The one I most regret selling was a custom 1911, built on an Essex frame with two slides, one with combat sights and the other with match sights. All mil-spec parts, packaged in a metal case with magazines, military flap holster, and other accessories. I had another 1911 at the time (Colt Series 70 Gold Cup National Match which I still have) and needed the funds to purchase a Beretta 92.

    I sold it to a friend and tried to buy it back, but he had given it to his father-in-law, then had gotten divorced and lost contact. Still wish I could find it.

    I did sell a personal built 24 inch bull barrel AR upper with Nikon Monarch scope that I used to shoot some FPR matches @ Palo Alto to fund buying a dirt bike so I could ride with my son before I got too old to do so. I don't really regret it that much as I made some good memories with my son, but it nearly cost me a few trips to the ER so I sold the bike. I mainly miss that scope!

    A friend of my dad’s sold me a 6” S&W 29-2 for $450.00 at age 19ish (12 years ago) and I sold it for $600…only firearm I’ve ever sold and regretted. It was my first handgun purchase and I sold it to pay for a Taurus 24/7 cause I was “bored” with a revolver. I still have the 24/7 and it sits in the safe…

    I wouldn't say I regret selling any of my guns. I had my reasons to let them go. Mostly because I had to eat or pay bills.
    2 of the ones I let go, I would by back. My first pistol - Springfield XD in 40 and my Bersa 380.

    Here's a story for y'all. My dad inherited his brothers 1976 Bicentennial edition Marlin 444 lever action which we all shot when it was new. I was only 14 when I shot it and immediately told my Dad I wanted one of those when I got older. About 10 years later I was married and me and the wife were going to do some hunting so I found a Marlin 444 I just had to have. Long story short, bills, lack of time off, other issues came up and had to sell this gun (my first gun to ever sell). Fast forward about 15 years, my Dad passed (he inherited it from his brother)and I inherited my Uncles 444 from him. The very same one I had first shot @ 14 years old! This gun will never be sold and will always have a special place in my heart!

    S&W 460 XVR. I thought it was kind of a gimmicky gun so I sold it. Now I'd like it back. I sold a model 29 because it hurt to shoot. If I can't shoot em I don't keep em but for some reason I regret that one too. I put a picture of dirty harry in the lid of the display box it came with. Yeah, kinda cheesy.
