I have two I regret selling, and one I regret not buying. The two I sold were both Rugers, a stainless security six with a six inch barrel and less than 200 rounds through it, and a number 3 in .223. Both sold off for paying bills, something I won't do now. The purchase regret was an Ithaca 37 grey rat that a fellow highschool student was selling for 40$ back in the late 70's. I didn't buy it because I wasn't into 16 gauge. Dumb move.

Just one that is regrettable; a Dan Wesson 738, Lil-Dan 38 special. The ex-wife didn't see eye to eye on the diminutive size.

Ithaca Model 37 20 gauge my folks gave me for my 14th birthday 1975 , shot a lot of grouse and trees with that gem .
A .22 Diamondback, an 870 with slug bbl and an 1895 Marlin.
Ruger mini-14. Traded it for one of my wife's motorcycles 10 years ago. She still rides the bike to this day
I regret selling a 40x in 222 years ago, and a 4” Colt Anaconda in 44 magnum.
While not hard to replace I hate that I sold my Springfield XD .45 service. Not once but twice. Crap happens when the doctor bills overrun income. Which drops to zero when you are self employed and the big C hits.
The second would be my Savage actutrigger in .270. It was the most accurate rifle I owned next to my .222.
I still have my early '70's Combat Commander for an EDC and a pre64 Winchester model 70 for hunting. So I'm not without just really liked those more but had less sentiment.
I cant imagine what it would be like without that diagnosis in 2014. But I'm better now time to get back to work.
A Singer 1911 that I bought from DMRO in San Diego in 1972. It was stolen from me in 1975.
My Browning Hi-Power 9mm which I carried for most of my first tour in Vietnam. Rod

Well, 2 actually. A Marlin 336CS .30-30, and a Chinese SKS type 56.

Sold to a friend of mine a Smith & Wesson model 657, .41 magnum, Mountain gun with a 4" tapered barrel. Would shoot one large hole off a rest at 25 yards. He moved away 10 years ago, every time I talk to him I ask if he wants to sell it back for even triple what he paid. I'm now looking to replace it if anyone has one for sale.
out of your choices as much as I like 1911s id take that diamond back. Me out of all the guns i sold a 3 inch 610, my two kimber cdp's my 280 featherweight 70 my cdl 257wby and my trapper 357 win. Funny ive sold many high dollar custom revolvers but id take any one of these back first. One of my dumb trades is actually comming back tommarow. Its a ruger 77 rl 250 sav that was one of the rare 77s that was a real shooter. Traded it to my buddy and traded back for it and its comming home. bottom line is if i listed all the ones i got rid of id like to have back it would take paragraphs. But i had fun with them and trading let me have fun with new stuff i could never been able to afforded.
The one thing I remind myself is that you can't own them all. But that doesn't stop the want.

Mine was a 4” nickel how about yours? I shot mainly .44 mags loaded to .44 Special specs. 8 hrs of Unique if memory serves. Then there were the warmer ones my brother reloaded. It was fun to shoot and very accurate. It went down the road in the early 90s when “the babies needed shoes.”
My first shotgun a Winchester Model 1912 20 GA. A Colt new service .45 acp with target sights and my first.44mag super Blackhawk.also a early 10/22 with a nice walnut stock.
