If You could get it back...

Two of them would be My old H&R 999 .22lr break top and my S&W Chiefs special.

I’ve never regretted buying a handgun but I’ve regretted selling a few. The handgun I want back was an original .357 OM Ruger Flattop 4 5/8” that Hamilton Bowen converted into a .45 Auto Rim. Such a beautiful fun gun that I sold to buy something else.

Great uncles WWII bring backs, his 1911 and someone he met’s Luger. I never saw them so maybe that doesn’t qualify, pops sold them to fund a vacation with his buddies before getting married.

I'd be inclined to second this thought.
My uncle was in transportation during WW2 landing at Normandy D+2, actually crashing as the C47 he was in crashed upon landing.
He brought back his 1911, a M1A1 and Bernadelli 25.
Sent home some(9) MP44's but they were stolen by postal service.
He did bring back a Bitish Sten 'de-milled' by someone in motor pool. It passed import inspection anyway.
Told my uncle I wanted to buy the M1A1 whenever we would talk firearms etc.
I was working for IBM at the time as an Account Systems Engineer making fairly good $.
My uncle sold the M1A1 on one of his trips to gunshow in Ohio.
Told me he didn't want me to spend that much ($300) on a rifle.
His Bernidelli was his last ditch protection, hidden on his person in his under drawers.
But the pistols and rifles I have had, I have extremely fond memories when they were transferred to others.
But all in all, life is good.

Kinda missed my mid “70’s” Charter arms nickel 44 bulldog. I didn’t/ couldn’t CC back then in college and was more afraid of getting in trouble. I 99% CC now and replaced that Charter-bulldog with the same vintage 4” target 44 bulldog. It’s my glovebox gun now.

Oh man... There are so many. My business is seasonal and I would have to sell to make ends meet sometimes. Thankfully I have about grown out of that.
1) Late 50's Marlin 39a lever action
2) S&W 686+ Talo Edition 6" revolver
3) Franchi 48AL engraved 12ga semi auto
4) Beretta PX4 Strom .45 Full Size
5) FN45 Tactical

Strangely, I don't own but one 22 lr pistol now.
I miss,
In order
4" Colt Match Target in box
6" Colt Match Target in box
4" H&R 999 in box
6" H&R 999 no box
4" Diamondback
6" Diamondback.

I sold them thinking I never shoot them. But I sure want them back. I will admit I traded the Diamondbacks for a 2.5" Python I still enjoy currently.

I’m not going to cry about stuff like Pythons or even Lugers. When I was a teenager I went through guns like Savage & North, Colt & Rem percussion pistols. Really nice European rifles and shotguns from WW2. Winchester 1886s in 33 Win, Win 95 in obsolete cals. At the time I had no interest and stomped that stuff out for pennies. I would take it to shows up in cities and use the proceeds to buy new stuff.

I wished I could have gotten my old High standard .22LR semi-auto pistol back. I do still regret selling it a lot.

While horse trading today seeing how hard it would be to get my old XD back I got my 24" heavy stainless upper back for some ammo. So I'm going to keep working on him.
