Glock 17...a great pistol, but it just didn't fit my carry or competition needs. Ended up going Glock 26 and 36 for carry and Beretta 92G-SD for competition.

kel-tec .380 jammed way to damn much for a bug, and the hipoint 9mm i bought for my then gf to shoot.

And last but not least, trading my Sigma in for an M&P.

CZ-RAMI 9mm.
I really wanted to love this gun. It just never lived up to the carry status that I wanted it too. It wouldnt ever feed quite as well as it should have for a carry gun (ie 100%). My friend really wanted it so I took a hit on it and sold it off.
Went back to my favorite...GLOCK. I try other guns but I still cant find one that I like as much or trust as much.

If I had all the guns that had ever crossed my hands before I started CCW...I'd have a nice colletion...those were my younger/middle-aged days. (I don't know that many people over 122, so I know I'm a ways beyond the 'middle' years.)

I actually regret parting with most of them except...the Taurus PT145, and the Taurus 817B...

Stay armed...don't sell any of 'em...stay safe!

Only two really-
1. Springfield Armory GI Champion. It was reliable, accurate, and felt great in the hand. It even got every shell casing out of the chamber. It just threw them everywhere. I'd have a few bounce off my forehead or safety glasses every range session. The only gun I HAD to wear glasses with.

2. CZ-75 P-01. Fantastic gun. I bought it to learn DA/SA triggers. I was able to shoot it well after lots of practice, but decided to condense my armory to one trigger type (Striker Fired). I had several occasions where I didn't let the trigger reset enough on my M&P, and want to build positive muscle memory with the guns I prefer.

Traded both of them for a XD .45 service and haven't looked back.

1. Universal M1 Carbine - always shot about 4 ft right, no matter how much I adjusted the sights.

2. Glock 26 - I bought it because it was a Glock. I tried and tried to make it fit my hand but it never did. I never did shoot it well. Never any mechanical problems with it, though.

3. S&W 4014 - wanted something thin and compact for everyday carry. Only problem was, it was really not any thinner or more compact than my Colt Commander which has always been a little big for everyday carry for me. Plus I traded the 4014 in on my Kahr CW9, which I love!

Beretta .32 Tomcat. Jamming, clunky, awkward, piece of crap. The slide and hammer were so hard to get a grip on and actually operate, that it made the weapon very dangerous just to try and chamber a round.

Oh, and I've gone through a few stages of wanting lever-action rifles for some reason. Maybe from watching too many Clint Eastwood movies, or dreaming of going to Alaska. I had a Marlin 44 Mag, and a Winchester 30-30. Always end up buying them, shooting a box or two of ammo, then they sit collecting dust for a few months (or years) before I just sell them, because I can't think of anything to use them for. They weren't bad guns, just useless to me.

I always regret selling anything AR-related.. Except for a post-ban Bushmaster which had an awful AK-style muzzle brake perma-attached.
