Hi point 9mm. Stove pipe junk. You had to lock it in a vice to get it to cycle. All the rest I am glad I sold I got at least 50 more than I paid. I do kinda regret getting rid of the gsg-5 it was a cool .22

Cetme .308, ripped the heads off brass like no ones business. Sold it back to the dealer that sold it to me a month later, for what I paid for it. Bring a headspace gauge with you when looking to buy one of these!

STI shadow, liked it when I bought it, but it wasn't what I really wanted and the finish was terrible. Bought a Dan Wesson cco and never looked back.

marlin 1894 .357, would lock up the action and pierced primers!, Sent back to marlin and fixed, sold shortly there after.

...Glock 22...went back to .45 and never looked back...

Me too. Great gun, but after I shot TAM's .45 its fate was sealed. Thankfully, I found a good home for it and the G22.

...which .45 didja get from TAM???

That was my first carry gun.

I sold mine as well. I shot it well enough, never had any malfunctions, and 10+1 of .45acp in the gun plus a 12 round back up mag was a pretty comforting carry loadout.

But you're right. That trigger is long and squishy.

In some ways I don't regret getting rid of it, but still having it as a "first pistol I ever bought" piece would be nice. It would have made a pretty decent console gun with the 12 round mags.

But I'm a lot happier with the guns I've bought since.

You pretty much mirror my thought on the thing. It was the first pistol i bought, and would be a fair console gun, but... trigger .

An early Glock 17. Thing was a jam-o-matic. Could rarely fire a complete magazine out of it without a stovepipe or two. Given all the talk I've heard about their 'reliability' I probably just got a lemon. But it's soured me to Glocks ever since. Only handgun I've shot since then that jammed that much was a Hi Point that belonged to a friend of a friend.

Oh, I didn't get one from him. When we first met he let me shoot one and I was hooked. It was a 1911 of some kind. I think he had only recently acquired it himself. I was astounded that the perceived recoil was less and more manageable than my .40s.

Ditto. I've had two of those. I could not fire a single round, it always double-tapped, could not control that.
I think it had something to do with my hand size and long fingers.

The other gun I was glad to get rid of: A derringer, classic 2-barrel design in .38 spl.
That thing was painful to shoot.

Several months ago I traded a .380 AMT Backup (SAO) and a marginally decent KelTec P3AT for a new Kahr CW45.

I had a total of $335 invested in both those .380s together when purchased new. Am VERY happy with the Kahr - it is a well made compact carry gun with a substantial wallop.

First trade I've done in 25 years, but it was annoying to have two pistols that I never liked taking up space in the safe.

This is my second Kahr - the first was a PM9. Fine pistols.

Off-brand 12g "pistol". It wasn't something I was interested in keeping...

Dont Regret selling:
Ruger Redhawk .44 Mag 5.5" barrell. Barrell had to be 7 or 9" for hunting in LA. No good for self defense.

Ruger P90. .45acp Not for me. To bulky, single stack. Not a 1911. I might like them if I had one today.

EAA Witness .357 mag shot 2" barrel. Could not hit the side of a barn. I think something was wrong with the sights. No, really...read something about it online.


Guns I still have but regret buying:
Berretta 925 Jetfire .25ACP, mag release but easy to accidentally press and release mag, will only feed/shoot WWB FMJ's, has fallen out of every conceivable CC holster i have ever owned.

Guns I want back:
Sold a Remington 700 BDL .30-06 Needed money for college.
Sold a Spanish mauser of some type 1916? .308, no way to mount a scope, bolt stuck straight out. Just stupidity.

Sig P250

I haven't regretted selling any of these guns:
<Error: Zero-Length List>



I don't think I'll ever sell my first gun.

I'll likely get rid of my Remington 1100 as soon as I can find a Saiga 12 at a reasonable price, but I may hold onto it as a skeet gun if the Saiga's barrel is too short for Elm Fork. I may effectively sell my AR-15 and/or AR-10 through buying and selling uppers and/or lowers, and I have no special attachment to my SAO Sig P220.

I think that unless times get really tough, the rest aren't worth enough to bother selling. I mean, I've only shot my Mosin Nagant a small handful of times, and I've probably already spent half as much on ammo as I did for the gun itself.

Kel Tec PF9, a total POS.
