how long have you had it? would you sell it?

Ruger old model blackhawk 45 colt bought new when I was 16. I am 43 now. It was the first gun I ever bought. I had to get my dad to sign for it. I have owned more than my share of guns over the years, but none have the sentimental value of the old Ruger.

S&W Mod 66, 2.5" bbl w/round butt. Mag-na-ported, with their action job and Velvet Hone finish. This is an old one with pinned bbl and recessed chambers.

Have had it since 1981...this one is not getting away.
 
My stainless GP-100. I don't know why. I am very accurate with it and it feels good. I just got a .40 S&W and I like it, but I keep going back to the GP-100. Go figure.
 
I have a number that were gifts that I could never sell or trade. The oldest is my 1st .22 rifle - J.C. Higgens single shot bolt action dating back to 1952.

Of those that I've bought, the real keeper has been a Ruger Mark I bull barrel from about 1967. I'm not sure why I won't sell it. I've got similar guns that are nicer and more accurate (S&W Model 41, a Ruger Mark I with the long barrel - of about the same vintage, and so on), but every time I think of trading it off for something I rethink and don't. Aside from the fact that I wouldn't get very much for it (it isn't pitted, but the blueing is very, very worn), I think back on where it, and I, have been. It is accurate enough to feed me in the woods (again) and it just works.

My wife gave me a nice stainless Mark II bull barrel, which of course I will never trade, but when I grab one up to go for a walk in the woods or squirrel hunting, it is usually my old friend.

My .380ACP Makarov. I have had this pistol 5 years. I gave myself this gun for a 40th birthday present. (My slut ex-wife didn't care less at this point.) However, it did save her worthless carcass. Some goblin tried to break into our house, and was introduced to Mr. Makarov. In a word, NO it will not be sold!!!!!
