Favorite Handguns-What Would Be Your Last Handgun You'd Ever Sell.....?

Hmm, I have three I'd hate to part with. My matching Colt's SAA, blue, 5 1/2" barrel. The actions have been smoothed up some. My S&W M 28 6" barrel. I used it in my first shooting, a Rape Suspect in 1980. I plan on passin' them on to some deserving soul when I go meet Jesus..
 
I have no handguns that I say "I'll never sell this." I have Marlin 22 rifle that was the first and only gun my father bought me that I will keep til I'm old and wrinkly, but that's it.

As my tastes and shooting needs evolve and change, so does my collection.
 
I guess if push really came to shove and I had to sell every gun except for one, it would probably be either my Glock 26 or my Kahr PM9. Those are my most "useful" gun as they are my carry guns. Everything else can be considered a luxury. My nicer guns would probably fetch a lot more money anyways. I'm sure I would really hate parting with some of them especially my Sig P210, Sig P210 50th Anniversary Edition, HK P7M8, STI Edge, and my Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special. I guess if the poop really did hit the fan and you are forced to sell your guns to put food on the table, you have to do what you have to do.
 
i'm not sure i could get down to just 1 gun per caliber let alone 1 gun. if i had to go further and narrrow down my collection to just 1 caliber i think it would be 22 or 22/22mag combo.
 
For the moment, I'd have to pick this Combat Commander Series 70 with it's four caliber change barrel and slide assemblies. Useful, packable, very accurate...'bout all you'd need in the lower 48. I've posted it before....45 acp, .38 Super, 9 mm, and .22 lr.

Browning Hi Power, because it's versatile, slim enough to carry and I simply love shooting it. And I shoot it well. :D

But it would be a sad world if I could only have one handgun...
 
Efield that 1911 is beautiful.

My choice would be my T Series Hi Power. There is just no other handgun that is so much a part of me.
 
My dads. It would need to be a grave situation for me to part with any of those.

Of the ones I have bought, my Smith 41 and my Colt OMM .22
 
Very tough question. I'll admit that on a couple of rare occasions I have sold guns. But in both cases I regretted the decision and ended up purchasing new versions of the same guns. Several years ago, for example, I lucked onto a 9 mm Browning HP in great shape for a great price. For some reason I decided I should get rid of my S&W 3913 in that same caliber. Sure enough, within a year I missed it and ended up buying another.

At any rate, if I had to decide which of my present guns I absolutely could not sell, I think the finalists would be both the BHP and my Colt Mk. IV Officers model in .45.
 
A Colt Government Model .45 ACP and a Colt .38 Super modified to fire .38 Special wadcutters, both accurized by King's, both inherited from my grandfather.

A Ruger Single-Six, my first handgun, given to me by my father.
 
Like many others I've sold a few guns over the years that I now regret selling, so I doubt there's anything here I'd sell. I can tell you that none of my father's guns will ever be sold. The S&W 25-5 is my hunting side arm, the Walther PP (early WWII production) is one of my favorites, there's an H&R and and Iver Johnson top break, and last but not least an Ortgies Vest Pocket model in .25ACP. His long guns will be here forever too.
