What guns do you wish you would have got when you had the chance?
What guns do you wish you would have passed on?
What guns did you part with that you wish you would have kept?
-
shoulda gotten that .357 timberwolf pump gun
should not have bought the charter arms ar-7
should never have parted with any of them.

I traded a Colt Python for a Glock because I panicked when the first AWB was being debated after the Luby's shooting in Killeen. Doh! :o :'(
-
9410 when I was working for a ffl. We had 3 of them, never made it a day on the rack. could have picked one up sub 400. Now they are 1500+ d'oh

I regret selling 2 S&W Model 19's, a Detonics Combat Master,a Colt Detective Special and a pair of U.S. Patent Fire Arms Co (Before USFA) that I sold because I figured there would be more available
Wish I bought the Colt Python 4 inch in .38 special(Limited run) for $250 when I had the chance as well as a snubby S&W 19
wish I had passed on the 1st 9mm I bought in a rush because the prior owner ruined it with some Dremmel home gunsmithing

Actually, I spent way too much having my match guns customized......more dollars than sense!!!!! LOL Then again, my survivors will have to try to sell them for whatever.

I regret buying my Colt Trooper Mk III in .357 mag. I regret it because I should have purchased 2 of them! I also regret passing on the FNH SCAR 17S. I'll never regret buying my muzzle loader sidelocks, however. Those are .50+ cal machines that stand the test of time!
-
Never regretted buying a particular gun.
Regretted getting rid of all that I've parted with , but they kept the lights on .
-
I regret not getting the Ruger Deerfield carbine in 44mag. I regret not holding on to my HK P7 I sold for a G22. The biggest regret is selling my polytech ak for 400.00.

I regret buying/don't regret getting rid of a Ruger 345, a CZ 75C and a Para 12-45.
I DEEPLY regret getting rid of my wife's guns after she passed. The kids hocked, then lost, every last one of them. Makes me sick every time I think about it..
I regret getting rid of a early 50's Model 10, .38. (that I traded for the P345), and couple of Para 1911's I wish I still had.
I don't regret the ones I gave to friends.. (Just wish they'd shoot em more..)
I guess my wife's Montefeltro 20 ga is the one I miss the most..
Wish I'd picked up that Stoeger Coach Gun I didn't buy in Destin.. Wish I'd picked up that P7 I had my hands on but got ass cramp when I tried to actually lay the cash in the counter.. I sure wish I'd picked up those 3 Saiga 12's that I had an opportunity to get for $400 each, back in early 09! I still want that VEPR 12, though nobody really respects that one..
Man, I've gone through alot of guns back and forth over the years.. :o I even wish I'd kept that little Royal Blue/Hard Chrome Kel-Tec P-11, (though it shot about 5' low at 21 feet, no exaggeration!!)
I'm glad I got rid of the LW Kimber, believe it or not.. The feed ramp on it was milled into the frame and I ended up polishing it a little too much/vigorously.. Messed it up, but that'll be the last aluminum frame 1911 I EVER buy..
Still wish I'd bought myself a Sig P220 SA. If I get a chance, I'll get a Ruger 1911, then a Les Baer 1911.
Want a M2 3 gun right this minute, damnit.. And a Piston AR, as I've never actually owned an AR, (just borrowed a few from Uncle Sugar)..
Guess I've reminisced enough, huh..
What a depressing question..

I think the one I regret the most is the 1895 Chilean Mauser in 7X 57 .
It had one minor ding on the stock, other wise it was like new .
I paid $90 for it, got $125 and still think it was a bad deal.

Same here Tom :P

It just happens I have one looking for a new home. Now understand the only original parts are the action and bolt.
The barrel is ER Shaw, the trigger is Timmney and the sights are Williams. It also has a sportier stock.
I'd have no regrets in selling it.

I'm kinda missing my Para 1911...
I heard it's been bloodied recently as well! It was used to dispatch a nuisance Fisher that had harassed a Labrador retriever one too many times!
Kinda liking the Ruger SR1911 Commander but I understand there's a waiting list here!
