A Smith & Wesson 6906...Sold it in early 90's.....
Was in a major $$ pinch and sold it for $200.00.
I hate hind sight.........
HKP30, with trigger work and Heinie straight 8 night sights. Awesome gun, but I wanted a 1911 so I sold it to purchase a 1911. Good at the time, but I would very much like to shoot that P30 again.
Also a Sig P226R Navy. Great gun, didn't do anything for me and I sold it cause someone asked me if I would. No real reason to. Gave them a killer deal too, but they were a friend so no biggie in the end.

The two I wish I had kept. Are the cz pcr compact and my tuarus 85 stainless 3 inch barrel 38 special.
I'd waste away if I listed the ones I still pine for after letting them get away.
Here's the one at the top of the list of regrets, a Winchester Model 1873 .38-40 rifle with a high-grade stock and tang sight. An old scanned photo from quite a few years ago, taken at our old home place while setting up targets on the side of the hill to shoot at.

A SW Model 60 no dash .38 Special. Made in 1974. Picked it up at an LGS for 300, and for some reason I traded for a Ruger Vaquero .22. I later sold the Vaquero and applied the funds to a Sig P229 Extreme.
But I wish I had that classic Model 60 back!!
None!!!
I watched my friends buy, sell and swap. They always complain about ones they should have kept. So I have a rule,never ever sell any of mine. If I want a better one or something else save up.
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.

I used my Sig SP2022 as a trade for a Ruger SR40. Then had 100 to the deal!
I was not impressed with the Ruger and wished I had kept the Sig.
It's a "low end" Sig but it was my first Sig and it was after all... A Sig!
Well, I started the other thread and have answered there but right now the ones I most miss are my old HK USP and the Kimber I traded in on my FNP45 Tactical. I need another 1911...
