Regret Selling

[HamYankee]

Yeah, that would be a do-over.

Ruger 10/22 that I bought when I was a kid. I think it was around 1982. In the box all paperwork near mint condition. Just recently I purchased a 1985, very similar. I am happy, but still wish I had never sold the original.

My dad gave me a FEG hi power, which I've posted about before. I don't think I could ever sell it for sentimental reasons. I've thought about selling my 10/22, but I know I would regret it someday when my boy is old enough to shoot. Lessons learned.

I sold a 26 one time. I'd take it back too. But, that one was a little easier for me because I still have the 19, which got more use.

My WASR AK47. I know its an entry level but I miss it. Been trying to get another one but its hard to get the will to pay $700+ for a rifle I paid $500 for 2 years ago.

Definite regrets:

1. Belgian Browning Light 12
2. Remington 11-48 28 ga.
3. Colt Python
4. Savage 1907

Biggest regrets: S/42 Luger and modern Stoeger stainless Luger

Limited regret: S&W 617. I probably should have kept it, but it just didn't feel right with the 10 shot cylinder not making the full 1/6 turn hence the difference in feel in the moving mass.

The one that bothers me the worst is the Norinco Mac-90 in .223 I traded to get a Daewoo (which I disliked). I know, it's just a cheap ass $300.00 rifle, but man she was a little tack driver. Oh well, I've thought about picking another up, but I'd likely get a POS and it wouldn't bring back the rifle of my late teens. Better to invest in to quality AR parts at this point.

 

[Rooster 308]

Sold a Quality Hardware/Rockola M1 Carbine for next to nothing. Still miss it.

 

[joncon]

A chrome plated S&W mod 39

Haven't sold a single one yet, hope I never have to. My hope is to have them all and pass them down to the kids and grand kids.

Savage model 24 .22Lr/.410

I replaced it years later, at about twice the price of the original.

My 1st handgun was a G19 purchased in 2004, directly following the day I received my first 4yr LTCH.

Pretty sure I paid $365 out the door and the shop owner threw in a cheapo owb holster. I had it a couple years and sold it to a friend when I needed cash. Of course I regretted it and when I had the money again he didn't want to sell it back. I didn't blame him though, my fault for letting it go.

I've recently replaced it but of course not for that price. Wish I'd have kept the first one.

 

[dyerwatcher]

S&W mod 36, Colt Trooper, Ithaca/SKB 12G side by side are my big regrets. I thought I learned, but I keep thing of selling my Python to fund a Wilson Combat. I need therapy.

Same here. I had purchased it intending it to be my EDC, but I decided to carry my G19 instead. They were very similar to carry and to shoot, but I liked shooting the G19 just a bit better. Of course, I also picked up a G34 strictly as a range gun, which is even more fun to shoot

 

[Winamac]

I had a Marlin 39M Octagon .22cal lever action. Marlin only made them in 1973. Like an idiot I sold it to buy something else. I do not even remember what I bought with the money? I sure do remember the Marlin though. Man...I wish I had it back.

Ugh, good thread. As I continue to get more into 40, I keep thinking about slimming down my stash of 9mm shooters. I have a CZ 75 P-01 in the safe that I haven't shot in nearly a year, and have been thinking on and off about selling or trading it. It's a pistol I had always wanted and finally found, and because of that, I haven't been able to get myself to post it. After reading this, I don't think I will... it's a phenomenal shooter and IMO a wonderful piece of craftsmanship, and the first gun I ever hit a dead-on bulls-eye with from a respectable distance. I know I'd regret it.

If I may say...wise choice in keeping it. You would have sellers remorse. Trust me, just look at my thread above.

 

[Jarhead77]

Beretta 92fs M9a1 INOX Compact....dumb a$$. Never should have traded it.

 

[straight-shooter]

I've sold quite a few but really can't say I feel I miss them... well maybe the Ruger Super Redhawk .44 magnum.

I have a 100 year anniversary Colt 1911 that I can't bring myself to shoot and from time to time I feel like selling it because I have a hard time justifying owning a pistol I don't shoot. So far I've told myself don't do it and so far I've listened.

 

[richardraw316]

I actually regret selling my regent r350 1911. I got it very cheap, and had Allenm work on it. It ran perfect, bit I saw something I thought unwanted more, I was wrong.

 

[gfry12]

HK P30L, and a sig p232. Sold others but these are the two that I look back on and think damn I should've kept those.
