    Oh...and the Para GI Expert.
    Along with 3 CMC 10rd mags that were stolen with it, out of my truck, on the way to the range, the day after I got it back from having a WC trigger and a full profile bushing compensator fitted & installed, before I ever got to try it out.

    Highly unlikely, but I hope my 'smith screwed the pooch on the work and it blew up in the thief's face.

    Meh, none of them and there's been plenty.

    I have replaced a few that left for various reasons but don't have any family heirlooms so never got rid of any of them.

    Sturm Ruger KS411N, stainless, 44 mag, 10 1/2" barrel, Super Blackhawk, had a trigger job done on it. That was a sweet shooting gun.

    So many have come and gone through my hands over the years. Several times, usually when moving, I trimmed down to the 50 or so I thought I couldn't live without.

    Probably the one I regret the most was a Remington 760 Carbine in .308 This was the first centerfire rifle I purchased for deer hunting here in Texas. A coworker then and I purchased 10 of these, and pieced together a nice one for each of us, and sold off the rest.

    It wasn't until after I traded it off that I learned that these were a special run made for Texas Department of Corrections. Have never seen one since.

    Pre war Model 70 30 Gov presentation- awarded to me for winning the USMC Edison Marksmanship Trophy. Anyone who has experienced hard times will not ask why I sold it , and if ever in the same situation again I would sell it again! Family first!
    Been through that many times. Some hurts don't heal, but you do what you have to at the time.

    I’ve sold a few over the years, but no real regrets.

    Lost a bunch in a divorce, and there are several that I would like to have back. Department issued S&W model 66. I bought it when we switched to semi autos. I’ve thought about buying another one, but the attachment is more sentimental than anything. Wouldn’t be the same gun.

    Federal Arms FA-91 - an HK91 clone with a cast receiver that had an integrated Weaver rail on top (not sure why they didn't go 1913, but whatever)

    My first CZ-75 Compact

    The Sig 220R-DAK that I owned when I got married - I might be one of the weirdos who actually really liked the DAK trigger, and feel it was too short lived.

    The half dozen or so. Norinco SKS’s I bought, shot the crap out of then sold when hard up for cash.

    The one I miss the most is the Sig P220 that had custom work done to it. Traded for a 300 Blk upper. I could shoot the circle out of a Dr Pepper can logo with it. Which confirms my status as a moron.

    I had a P220 TACK DRIVER, now that prices are dropping I may get another. I feel your pain;)
