    My S&W Model 66 that I sold in 1994. I’ve departed with others, but that is the one I wish I had back.

    I had a rem 597 that apparently was the extremely rare model in that it was reliable and would shoot about an inch and a half at 50 yards... would have made a good beater tool box gun

    Only one. A S&W 629 (no dash) with a half lug 5 7/8 barrel and a beautiful set of factory target stocks. I sold it to a friend to help finance a S&W 500 that was the new hotness at the time. He still has it. I'm glad he likes it so much but I wouldn't mind having it back. I've got dibs on it but I doubt he'll ever part with it.

    Gunz are icky.
    Winchester model 94 30-30 in like new condition. Sold it back in the 80s for $150.

    That's what they sold for back then.
    I can remember seeing them all over the place for less than $200. Maybe a tad more for the pre-64 versions.
    Passed on one that was a .32-40 made about 1900 because "them shells was 'spensive".
    I wish now I had bought every one I'd seen.

    I could have bought one while in the Navy back in 1965 for in the $70 range! I feel too I should have bought with all the money I had back then.

    Sold the one I bought in the 80s because I actually didn't like shooting it. Maybe I just didn't shot it enough to like it.

    Every one I've ever sold, even the bad ones. Just don't know where I would put them but it would fun looking for a place to store them and handling all of them.

    Early 90s SIG P228. Don't know what it was about it, but I could shoot it better than any other pistol I had for years afterward.

    MAK90. Nice easy shooting AK that it turns out was better built than 95% of the AKs on the market until some high end manufacturers came into existence.

    What is great about the DAK trigger? Everyone I've asked hated it but I've never shot one.

    I guess if you were ever into DA revolvers, they didn't seem that bad. The trigger was a little strange with the reset positions and subsequent trigger pull weights. The weight of the pull wasn't that drastic. Only a pound or two diff.

    I like mine, but I wouldn't go by another one. Only got it in the first place bc GT Dist had some agency sell backs for stupid cheap. They were .40 S&W, but mine was unissued (read 'New').

    Many years ago, I did a lot of buying, selling and trading of guns. A lot of them I really enjoyed owning and shooting them, but at the time I was able to set up for reloading, so the cost of factory ammo made many of them way too expensive to shoot for very much.

    Now many years late and having a place and the set-up to reload, I'd love to have many of them back to explore reloading accurate ammo for them.

    My first gun was a Marlin .45ACP camp carbine. Nice little rifle that uses 1911 magazines. I sold it for some dumb reason. My car needed new tires I think. That was a long time ago. I also used to have a bunch of mosins and SKS rifles which I don't particularly enjoy, but now they're worth like 5x what I paid for them back then.
