Colt 1911 I owned about 15 years ago. Absolutely the most reliable 1911 I have ever owned. It ate everything. Even some 155 gr. semi-wadcutters and the old Speer "flying ashtray" hollowpoints.

HiPoint 9mm carbine. Gun was ugly as sin, but it was damn accurate and ate whatever I fed it without complaint.

Funny you say this. I have not sold a single firearm, but I gave my brother my Hi-Point Carbine for his birthday and I kind of regret it. At least I still get to shoot it.

Bought it at a pawn shop. Sold it when I needed cash for a family emergency. Really regretted letting that one go.

Later on, I get some extra cash so I call the guy I sold it to and he tells me he no longer has it, doesn't know who he sold it to. About a year and a half go by and one pops up on Armslist for sale so I email and ask for photos. Wow, it looks familiar so i ask for a couple more pic's and OMG, it's my old HP.

We talk a little and we agree on a price and we meet and it is my old HP. Got her back and ain't never letting her go again.

I have so many of these so I will narrow it to three, first a first year Springfield Operator with the full length rail, had it customized to the hilt, beautiful gun and ran like a top, second a Colt custom shop defender (sniff) and last but not least a Styer AUG. So stupid, all were great and all are now worth a small fortune compared to what I got them for.

Also, in the same sale I let go of my old school Remington 700 .30-06. I loved that rifle and I miss it terrible.

Every time I am at a gun show I am always looking for her, I want her back. I have not replaced her as i want that one back.

Lets see,

Original HK 91, Spectre pistol, steyr pistol, original IMI UZI and Galil, Desert Eagle .44 magnum, and my mini-14.

I remember walking in to Firing line with my dad in the late 80's and seeing a Stery AUG for $800. Wish I WOULD have snagged it.................

I had a full rail operator too and selling was dumb.

My custom VZ24 in .338-06. My Smith & Wesson K-22 in .22 Mag. And the first centerfire rifle I ever bought, a Swede 96 Mauser.

At least I managed to re-acquire the first two. Whew!

hahahaha! same here.

Bought an AKM47 Norinco underfold when I just turned 18 as my first firearm.
Around 2005, someone offered $1000, and I sold it.

We should have a beer together and tell stories of how dumb we were. I think I sold mine in 2005 as well.

Two S&W Model 19 Combat Magnum's, 6" barrels, .357's, both with the orange ramp front sight and white outlined rear. They were identical, could have been twins. Owned 'em at two different periods of my life, not at the same time, paid $225 for each of them. Had to sell 'em to pay some damn bill or another. I loved those damn guns, broke my heart to sell each of 'em.

Also an old Ruger 3-screw Blackhawk in .357. Couldn't hit shit with it but wish I hadn't sold it. Bought it from my brother for $125 or so.

The Remington Sportsman 58 12 ga. that was my grandpa's, which he gave to me for my HS graduation. Really regret selling that one.

My grandma's old single shot .410, it had been painted black and was ugly, but it was an Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works gun.

Sig Sauer P226 in 9mm.
Was stolen and recovered a year later after all the gangsters had tossed it out of many moving cars. Just didn't want to keep it after all the things I figured it had done in their hands. I don't think I still would want it though.

Ruger Red Label 12 gauge. Bought it used but with little wear. Needed the money and sold it for less than it was worth. Regret that one a lot. Also my K-31, WWII dated, walnut stock with very little damage and a tag under the butt plate. Got it from AIM back when they were $80. Probably worth 4 times that now in the condition it was in. The only thing I don't regret about that one was the odd caliber. Fun to shoot, but not fun to get ammo for.

I had an Chinese Norinco SKS that I got from 4gunfun here and I sold it to fund another piece. I have not found one for sale as cheap, as good a condition and worth looking at since then!
That rifle was fun to shoot and accurate as all hell with just the iron sights.
I roll around in bed thinking about her sometimes.........

Sold a Romanian AK (not a WASR) with about zillion rounds of ammo and at least a hundred mags to a member here.. Ok, I might be mis-remembering exact quantities, but it was a bunch. Figured I'd consolidate calibers. Now I miss it. Couldn't even buy the ammo now for what I sold it all for.

"seller's remorse" :D
Well... I guess you can say that, but I need cash asap for car purchase.
I would rather sell a firearm to fund it rather than finance a car.

I bought my first 1911 last year and kinda liked the whole "annivesary" aspect of it. bought (well traded for) a much nicer one this year, but the fact remains that I will never have my "first" 1911.. kinda sucks a little..

my new one is waaaay better though lol...
