IMO the nicest gun I ever had, and did sell it, was a Dan Wesson 15 VH 6". Kick myself in the head for selling it!

Guns We Regret Parting With, Glad We Parted With, Glad We Almost Parted With But Are Glad We Kept

When we moved to VA 17 years ago I sold my Mini 14, Mini 30, and my S&W model 39. The Mini 14 had a factory folding stock which is fairly uncommon. The Mini 30 was a 1.75 MOA shooter and a good reliable deer rifle. And that model 39 was just a reliable very accurate shooter, I once shot a coyote in the head at 65 yds. It did take two shots though, just missed on the first one.

Even though I sold or traded them for legitimate reasons, I still regretted losing almost all of them at one time or another.
For purely financial reasons the one I regret the most is the S&W model 547 9mm revolver that I bought new and traded off pretty quickly. The one that didn't use moon clips and had a total production run of around 10,000.
For sentimental reasons, I regret selling the Ruger single-six that was my first handgun.
I was happy to be rid of the S&W 659 9mm. Never did feel good in my hand.

Sold an 870 Wingmaster cause I needed the money. The 870 Express that replaced it is every bit as functional, but just no where near the same gun. Gave up a Ruger Single Six to settle a debt that was much less than the value of the gun in 1982, never mind now. But at the time I didn't really have a choice or anything else of value. Life's a bitch sometimes.
Regret giving up both of them, and have never sold or traded a gun since.

I've parted ways with very few guns in my life. The one I am most happy about was a Lorcin .380
The one I have the most mixed emotions about was a Llama .380 - one of the early (good) ones that was essentially a mini-1911. But I gave that one to one of my nieces, and it helped to foster in her a desire to become active in shooting sports. She has since gone on to compete at Camp Perry. So that one was a bittersweet parting.
Other than those, I wish I had kept the Cobra and Woodsman.
