I have sold many guns that I wished I hadn't but one more that all. I had a Winchester High Wall with beatiful wood in 219 improved Zipper. Sold that sucker for peanuts.

Ruger Blackhawk in 44 Mag ( still remember serial #13076).
That gun and I went many a place together!

Bullseye, 2400 and 4227 and Lyman 429215 covered all my loading in those days.

It was a good bad situation for me. I traded my first personally made .65-284 target rifle (blue printed Rem700, McMillan Stock, Krieger barrel) for my first Contender with 5 barrels and SW629. I miss that rifle, but of course I wouldn't have a contender.

My very first hunting handgun a S/W 657. I traded it for my first Contender. My youngest son tracked that pistol down last summer and got it back so it is in the family just not mine anymore.

I really havent sold any that i regret. Most all of them could be puchased again today if i really wanted em. There are a few that i missed until i replaced them but it was more their intended purpose than the gun itself.... I have purty much kept everything that that i knew i would regret sellin, LOL! The only gun that i sold in a pinch, that i regretted, is now back in me posession, my first REAL gun, a Marlin 39A! IT belonged to my grandfather that lived in Texas and it obviously had some meaning to me. One of me boys will enjoy that rifle one of these days!!

Managing a gun shop for 2 years really gave me the chance to buy/sell a bunch of guns......

In my early days of handgunning, I bought, and later sold, an Old Model Blackhawk, 71/2" barrel, 45 Colt. It had a factory brass, Super Blackhawk grip frame. Sweet gun. I still wonder where that gun is today!
Melvin in SC

Detonics 451 detonics mag. I am not sure it ever really became worth anything, but it was one of the best shooting guns I ever owned.

The only one I regretted was a 4 5/8" 357 blackhawk. It wasn't paticularly accurate, or in great shape, but it was a fun gun.

Fortunately my buddy who bought it sold it to another shooting buddy, and after lanquishing in his safe for a couple of years unshot, I got it back this spring.

I even got an offer for the gun at the range yesterday, but I have no intent of selling it.

Where do I start?? I hope you do not mind but none of mine are pistols.
In 1985 I sold a Colt AR 15 in 9mm with 5 hi cap mags for $400.00 I did not like the rifle because I could not hit a gallon jug at 75 yards everytime.
I sold a HK shotgun.. I think the M3 super 90.. It was semi auto and with a turn of a collar it was converted to pump action it also had a folding stock for $750.00 I doubled my money on it but today it is worth way more.
I had a hard time selling a Springfiels M2 training rifle for $125.00
I will never find any of these at great deals like I sold them!! Now you know why I have not sold a firearm in 15 years or more!!

Colt AR-15 SP-1 model from about 1981 (should have made it into a full-auto); Thompson 1927-A1 semi-auto carbine, one of the very first made back in 1983 (nice blue, nice wood); nice Ruger 10/22 from about 1984. Sold them all for camera gear which mildewed in the humidity of the summers in Front Royal, VA.

All of them, but I think probably my contender the most. I had a 45/70 super 16, .223 and .30 Herret. I had the synthetic carbine stock, so the 45/70 could be either a rifle or pistol.

One of the early Remington XP100's. I traded it for a Ruger Blackhawk in a 41 mag, that couldn't hit a tin can if it covered the barrel. Stupid, stupid, stupid,

I'm going add one more to the list. I have had two Ruger 256 Hawkeyes and really wish I had at least kept one.

a Ruger HAWKEYE??? OMG I'd LOVE to have one!!

The only gun I do NOT regret selling was a Walther ppk in .380. I carried it as back up early in my career and it bit me between my thumb and forefinger every time I fired it!!!Now I carry a 3913 or Glock 27 as backup.
