Let me start.
It will be my first gun, a satin nickel Colt Government 45 cal series 70 with blued parts for contrast. It was even the cover of one gun magazine in the early 80's.
I had it from 1984 to 1993 when I could not say no to a person I was asking a favor from. The favor had a higher value than the pistol but I still regret letting go.
How about you guys and gals?

Havent sold it yet , but I'm sure I'll regret it if I do
an ordinary CZ85 bigay ng cz/pb dionisio
I cant remember how many people na tumawad dun
Di ko alam kung anong magic meron sa kanya , hindi sumasala
akala ko tuloy magaling lang ako pero , yung baril pala yun
Still thinking about it
Mas mahilig ako sa pera keysa sa baril

Wow I have a long list of those!
Here they are in order of merit:
1. Colt Gov't. 1911 - Got it bnew/unfired for the price of a Norinco. Sold it last year.
2. G19 - Carried it for 3 years. My first gun. Won my first IDPA medal with it. Sold it to get a G34.
3. G26 - sold it to a good friend who won't sell it back to me. Hindi pala good.
4. M4 - It was sucking up too much money. Wife threatened to shove it up my...
Other honorable mentions:
Ruger GP-100
NAA .22mag
Springfield 1911

My 2nd Gen GLock 19. The saying that you don't know what you've lost until you lose it is true. I really regretted having sold that gun!!!!

Mosberg 410 one of these days I will get it back. It is still in the family and the only gun I have ever sold.

None.
Guns are like candy bars - wonderful when you are with one, but there are many other really good ones so try as many as you can.

My all original, very good condition, original finish ( parkerized na medyo green pa) Remington- Rand 1911a1 which was given to me by my father (as pamana, heirloom quality talaga!) good, very visible markings on the slide and frame.good barrel condition. I sold it , kasi its "very old" and i wanted a "modern" one. I deeply regret the day that i sold it...

i miss my G19!!!!!
My first gun was a G19 with OD frame...I sold it to buy something else, that I didn't even keep. :faint: Also had sentimental value because it was given to me by my dad.

I kinda regret the day I sold an LC Smith side x side 12ga shotgun. It wasn't so bad as I got it for a song and had no sentimental value whatsoever. The buyer was paying a hefty premium so my head prevailed over my heart.

my para ordnance p16.40 with caspian slide and bar-sto barrel.
anschutz supermatch 22 with a 10-40x50 scope. still regret it sold it back 90's pa
ruger 22/45 with supressor and red dot scope. though i bought another one today it has a stupid magazine safety.
i will never sell my infinity 40 pistol though. too many championship trophies won and continue to win by that sucker.
It wasn't my personal gun but the family's. My mothers side of the family had a original Thompson "Tommy Gun" with violin case and everything including multiple 100 round drums and original bill of sale from 20 or 30's not really sure now.
I was able to borrow it one year for Halloween when I was 12 or 13. I even have photos of me somewhere with it dressed as a gangster from that era. When my Grandmother passed away about 7 years ago her 4 boys couldn't come to grips with who should have it and sold it for just $12,000.
Here in Washington you can't even own a Full-Auto unless it had been grandfathered as that one had, the worst part for me was that I never got to shoot it and would have loved to keep it in the family.:crying:

hmmm. id like to share. but i cant recall if i did regret selling or letting go. if i did that it must have a valid reason - sometimes to upgrade, sometimes to downgrade, sometimes to change hobby, sometimes to return to the hobby, sometimes when there is money sometimes when there is none.
gulo noh?
See my signature......
My first Glock - long gone, but still looking!

My dad has the same gun, and it has NEVER had a failure to fire or to eject...unlike his Walther P22...but that's a story for another time.:supergrin:

I like my 1911 GoldCup. While its a single stacker, it was very reliable and accurate. My dream is an HK MP5.

I sold a Colt .45 Kit Gun finished by a Florida gunsmith named Giles. These guns were sold to smiths to be final fitted and were as accurate as all get out.I kick myself on a regular basis. I might be able to get it back at a much inflated price, but I'll chalk it up to the price of doing business

Oo nga. Will never let go of the G19. Puede pang-carry, puede din panglaro.
