    I had a Winchester Model 94 Ranger in 357mag. That thing would not hold a group for ANYTHING... so I sold it.

    That was way back before I was a reloader, and before I understood ammo very well. Really wish I would have kept that one.

    I've had a couple that I sold and never missed but there are also those that I wish I still had. My Kimber Ultra is one. It sat in the safe for a while and I decided I could use the cash more than I needed the gun but now wish I had that Snubby .45 back again. My FM Hi Power is still missed. My S&W 586 should have stayed too, but if I had kept that one, I'd probably not have bought my 66-2. My Springfield 1911 should still be here, but is not. I never shot it and really did not like it much but it would have made a fantastic project gun. The ones I don't miss? TZ 75-88 (neat gun, just never connected with it), CZ 97B (too big), PK380 (too big for a .380), Sig P6 (too big for a single stack 9), various Mosins (Kept the keepers, let the stock ones go)... There are others that I cannot even remember much about owning, but don't miss a bit.

    I used to regret selling things. Until I realized they are just that. Things. They have no real meaning and no substance to offer. If I am not using them to accomplish a task, then I may as well use what value they do have as a means to an end.

    Nuthin. Not the Mateba Unica 6, not the BSS, and not the 686/586. I've had some fun guns and they have come and gone. Sure, I probably will never own another Mateba again due to the cost, but there is a reason I sold it. No fun to own a gun that you afraid of breaking.

    M&P 15-22 I sold it and got a fair price for it... but I miss that little gun. Very fun firearm to own and a great complimentary firearm for AR owners.

    I had a nice old marlin .22 mag that I wish I had back. What the heck did I sell it for? It was only a hundred bucks. What a sweet little tac driver it was. No real need for it though and you can only shoot one at a time.

    That's a good mindset to have. Instead of regretting what I sold, I need to appreciate having had the chance to own it when I did and leave it at that. I don't regret drinking a good bottle of wine or good scotch when it's gone, and instead simply enjoy having had it, so why should a firearm be different.

    One of the last 12 HK P7 M10 imported into the country. They were a overun from a Itallian PD that had ordered too many p.and had the actual Itallian department stamp.

    Haven't sold anything yet, but may have to soon. Though I'll try my damndest to not sell anything.

    I do wish I sold my AR15 during the price hike panic. But couldn't bring myself to do it in fear that I would never find one again.
