Remorse: noun - Deep and painful regret for wrongdoing

[scref]

Yeah, I did a lot of research. Probably over 30 hours worth. I thoroughly read everything I could about all of the single stack 9mm offerings and shot a number of them.

I went and handled the shield beforehand and it just didn't "feel" like it was worth the extra money to me at the time.

I did that with a truck once, then thought I shouldda bought a different one, my girlfriend at that time said" you studied it, you decided correctly. stop doubting"

I do that with guns too, I study, I buy, I get "buyers remorse" I sell it and then get "sellers remorse" so I buy it again ...AND I ALSO BUY the other, then I think "I have too many" and I sell some ... then I think, hey I sure like that one I had ... I should buy it again ... just in case ...

It's genetic with me, my dad always bought high and sold low ... without people like us, the ones who buy low and sell high would be out of business and not as rich. We help the economy ...

But, I think I'll become a hoarder instead (oops, I mean a collector)... it's cheaper

So what are you selling?

[RPB]

I think from now on I'll trade, or buy, and not sell.
I mean I think "I can't use CCI snake shot in this ported .Stainless snubby .357 I should sell it, then I shoot it and it shoots so well, I can't sell it, it can be a Stainless bathroom gun ... I should sell this Stainless NAA .380 with the laser grip, but it holds 10+1 rounds, and that's good for a .380, It should go in the other bathrrom since it is Stainless ... I could sell this .... but .... or maybe ... nah ... I need to buy a ... and a ... yeah I'll do that ...

I sold probably 70 handguns about 5 years ago, I'm down to 20 or so and I kinda miss some of them, even though I'll probably never use some of the ones I have.

Thanks TAM, next time I buy something I am going to make sure and upgrade to the Halleluia package.

Keep the one you bought and go get the other one. Wash.... Rinse... Repeat... Eventually you will be asking the forum about gun safes.

Oh the dreaded LC9 or something else conundrum....

I went through that not too long ago and ended up with a Walther PPS. Not that the LC9 isn't a nice little gun, but the Walther's trigger and more glock-like manual of arms really won me over (point-shoot, no thumb safety with which to mess about). Well, that and I figured that updating the trigger would cost almost as much as just buying the Walther. The Shield is a nice little gun as well. Luckily I didn't hear about it until after I picked up the Walther so I didn't have to think about that one. Kinda thought about a Springfield XDS, but they seem to be unobtanium which made the decision easier. Still may end up with one when they become more readily available.

Tough choice. If I had liked the LC9 a little more, I might have had to go with the buy both option. Just be glad you're not paying for the Walther mags...~$47 a pop. Mine came with a 7rnd and an 8rnd, but I've already picked up an extra 8 and thinking that I may need to pickup one or two more for range use.


And like has already been mentioned, you can always find someone looking for a LC9 to help defray getting the Shield (or Kahr, or Walther or Kel-tec...) or just start collecting the entire series of small 9s

This answer deserves some kind of rating response.

Have any of you guys encountered buyers remorse about something you've bought?

Just ditched our 6 year old Tempur-Pedic mattress for a brand new sleep number bed. I told my wife that if we bought it, I didn't want to get it home and have regrets about not having bought the model I really wanted. So we compromised and got a really good bed......for a stupid amount of money.......the Halleluia package: split king, motorized base that raises the head and feet, built in vibrator, everything. OTH, I've just enjoyed the two best nights of sleep I've had in years, and I haven't had to take a single pain killer yet today for my back; so maybe it was worth it. No buyers regret yet, but give me a few months.

This a not the bed, it is the placebo-effect : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So.......What gun did you buy and what gun do you wish you bought?

I bought the tried and true, gun of the year Ruger LC9...I'm wishing I'd gotten the new Shield because of the rumors about the trigger plus the extra magazine (the LC9 only comes with 1 and extras are 30 bucks a pop).

My only advice would be to give it at least a month and 3 or 4 boxes of ammo. I bought mine strictly because I wanted a pocket gun that I could carry in the summer and I wanted at least a 9mm. As soon as made the first shot, I thought 'oh, man, what have I done?" Every 2nd or 3rd round jammed and I hated the trigger pull. I know I should have cleaned it first but the range where I bought it gives free range time after the purchase. I went home and cleaned it of the factory grease and I haven't had a problem since. I eventually got used to the trigger pull too. However, I rarely carry it anymore except as an occasional backup. After spending a lot before finding the right holsters, my Colt 1911 or Beretta PX4 pushed the LC9 back to the safe though I still wouldn't hesitate to use it as an EDC.

Do wives count?

After being disarmed for no good reason, I regret getting a Texas CHL. Now I have to wait a few years to fix that by not renewing.

I just went through this. I bought a revolver even though I was going in for a .380 pocket pistol. After a week, I thought, "Dang, I want a do over."

Today, I ran into a guy who did the exact opposite. I am working out the details of the trade now. Anyone know how to handle a trade?

On the bright side, I went in for a Bodyguard .380, walked out with a 442, and am ending up with a Sig P238.

If you mean legally, there's nothing you're required to do. In Texas, transactions between private citizens are just that - private. However, I would create a simple Bill of Sale in case the gun (new or old) winds up having been stolen or used in a crime.

Thanks for the answer. I feel good about the legality. It's the safety and the location bit I'm not sure about.

Pretty public. I use an Academy or Bass Pro parking lot for handguns. Don't go alone if you are worried.
