So I'm kind of enjoying reading everyone's posts int he "One gun you passed on and now regret" thread, so I thought I would invert that question and ask "What is the one gun you sold and now you regret having sold it?"
I've sold off nine guns in my lifetime thus far. Some I have no remorse of having parted with. A couple I wish I hadn't sold. I any event, I've learned my lesson to the point that I no longer sell guns; I only buy them. (When I"m not broke, which is rare.)
But of the guns I've sold, the one I regret selling most...well shoot, there are two..one was a Winchester Mod 94AE New Haven gun, early 90's. It wasn't anything special, but it was my first centerfire firearm, and one of the last guns my Dad bought specifically for me. Sort of a high school graduation thing. After 10 years in a closet, I sold it to a fellow Scoutmaster as a gift for his son who had just made Eagle. His son killed his first deer with it, still owns it, and no, he won't sell it back.
The other was a Ruger Security Six Stainless with 4" barrel. I'm not into handguns anymore, but that was the best handgun I've ever owned or used. It was a good pair to my 357 lever gun.
C'est la vie, but you can bet you won't see an add from me selling any guns any time soon.
