Regret Selling

[jbombelli]

My old Firestar 9mm. That was a really good pistol for the money.

On Christmas day of my 16th year, my dad gave me a Savage 20ga pump as a gift. It was a shocker since my dad was pretty anti-gun at the time. The next day I learned my best friend's dad had convinced him to get it for me because "every man needs his own squirrel gun". A few years later I was really needing cash to get started in life, so it and a couple other guns went bye-bye. Fast forward another decade and I was in the final stages of a nasty divorce. The soon to be ex had done everything in her power to bury me financially. I had a decent WW2 equipment and weapons collection that would bring in a nice sum of money. So it along with my M1 Garand and GI bringback P38 Walther were liquidated. I suppose they all went to helping me along the way, but I surely would love to have that old Savage and my M1 back. Of all the guns I've bought, sold and traded over the years those are the only two that I really miss.

Pop gave me an Ithaca 49 single shot when I was 10 or so. Damn rear sight was canted, and I couldn't get pop to help me with it. In my frustration I sold it for peanuts. Wish I hadn't done that. Just found a rightly priced replacement within this last year.
Few years ago sold a beautiful p6 and an even better 239. I have found a stock p6 to replace the old one, but no such luck with a 239. Yet.

Not me but my ex sold a GI issued 1911 that was my dad's from WWII. Added to the ex factor

I didn't like any of the guns I have sold and don't regret selling any of them. They all funded guns that I love.

My S&W M66 snubby and my M45 Firestar. I sold them both to fund other projects and regret it to this day. That M66 was the sweetest revolver I've ever owned, and the Firestar was a great pistol. Oh well, live and learn.

I sold a Hungarian AMD65 to a friend so I could fund an AR15 build.

My AR was an amazing rifle. Accurate, reliable, and easy to shoot. Problem was it had no soul... The AMD haunted me.

Lucky for me my friend didn't really care for the AMD and sold it back for the same money.

So my regret story has a happy ending. :-)

XD9, my first handgun

 

[9x18]

Half of my guns, then the other half I'm just happy to get rid of them.

 

[PappyD]

Colt Officers Model 45 stainless.....needed the money for babies...

from wayback- a Remington Mdl 788 22-250 with an old Weaver K-10 scope. Greene county groundhogs thanked me.

 

[indianachris]

HK USP .45 that I got 10 years ago for 400.

 

[baddyna96]

An old Colt Gold Cup and Colt .22 conversion kit for it.

 

[cmkaehr]

I traded a xd .45 for a motorcycle(it was a complete basket case). It wasn't anything special but It was one of the first handguns I had ever bought. Definitely regret that one

 

[cubbetm]

My ak. Needed to get the bank account back up where I like it to be and I let it go too cheap. Stupid move.

 

[piercedjp]

A Ruger P89 and a first gen XD 9MM compact

 

[DarkRose]

My 77 Chevelle Malibu Classic... just didn't have the funds for the TLC it needed...

 

[danmdevries]

Every gun I've sold. Seriously. Even the ones I never learned to like.

 

[SubUrbanCamo317]

My 1944 Mosin Nagant M44 carbine. It was made in the Tula factory, man was that thing a boss! took down a few Coyotes, ground hogs, and even a squirrel (that was messy). I bought it from Wannamaker Guns for $90 and sold it for $100.

 

[hrearden]

Too many things to name off the top of my head. If I had had disposeable income all my life, Id need a building just for all my *****.

 

[firefighterjohn]

Regret selling my Marlin Model 60, my first .22, loved that gun. Going to find one just like it again soon. Stupid. Don''t get me started on old cars I foolishly sold...
