...it's a black hole for ammo too......

I have one and I like it for plinking and wasting my buddy's reloaded ammo. Everyone that shoots it goes through the 30 round mag quick and begs for more.

That being said I only traded one gun in my life and I regreted it for many years. It was my very first gun, an old 20 gauge bolt action that killed many rabbits, pheasents, ducks, 3 deer, and countless other critters. Can't remember the make.

I traded a Smith & Wesson 39-2 for partial on my Glock 30. I kind of regret it, since it was my first hand gun and a gift, but I just wasn't interested in a single stack 9mm and once I got my first Glock 17, I stopped shooting it completely.

seamus,

I must have sold the Dan Wesson about 20 years ago. It was a heck of a gun for accuracy as the barrel locked at both ends. My intention upon buying the weapon was for silhouette shooting.

After shooting this weapon, I started noticing excessive pressure maybe 2 of the chambers (I don't remember which brand's of ammo, but they were not hot loads). I had the chambers polished, but it did not help. I got tired of having to dowel out the brass, and was starting to worry that the pressure may weaken the chamber with a disastrous effect.

I was occasionally getting something I describe as a blowback. It was when the bullet jumped the gap to the barrel, there may have been a misalignment or perhaps a timing problem, but I would have small lead particles come back onto my arms and into my face.

I thought this was too powerful a weapon for me to take any chances with, so I sold it.

Yeah, I wouldn't want a malfunction with that kind of energy.

Hope nothing bad has happened since you sold it

Glad to be rid of my Colt Mk IV Series 70 Government Model Jammamatic - Colt's could not/would not fix it under their so-called "warranty" so it would reliably get through a full mag of hardball without jamming . . . usually several times. Soured me on pony guns forever.

Glad to be rid of a Kahr P9 . . . written up and praised in all the gun rags, this little junker had a long, LONG list of problems . . . replaced it with a G26, which is a bit bulkier, but actually WORKS!

dukesean,

I hope nothing bad happened since I sold it also. However, I sold it back to the dealer I bought it from, and I did tell them the reasons.

Jennings 22 pistol
Rossi 38 revolver
Mini 30
AMT 380 backup
AMT 45 longslide
10/22

Ones that I DO regret not having anymore

M1A - X wife got it in divorce
H&K 91 - X wife got it in divorce
Nylon 66 - I was just dumb
Star PD - X wife got it in divorce
DCM Garand - X wife got it in divorce
Mossberg 590 parkerized - X wife got it in divorce

Kahr PM40 and a Kimber Tactical. Never own another of either

An EAA Witness .40 cal that I bought as my first firearm ~12 years ago. Didn't know much about pistols and it was all i could afford at the time. The thing would jam on me 3-4 times per box of 50 rounds. Then one day it went full auto at the range, but that seemed to be an isolated incident. I had zero faith in the pistol even for plinking. The accuracy wasn't bad though.

I had one of the little HK 45 compacts.....I did not like it at all and sold it almost immediately.

Sounds like she made out like a bandit......

I've regretted selling every one I've sold.

Santa-Fe Delux 30-0-6 Mouser. It was ugly as hog snot and was embarrassing to be seen with it over my shoulder but I could knock a flea off a hogs ear at 400 yards. dumb dumb dumb.

I had a Llama 1911 45. It wasn't the MAX version but the earlier model. It wasn't fun to shoot but it seems like it was fairly rare because I've never seen another of that model.

Those are the only two I've sold and really wish I hadn't.

Sold my brother a Winchester Model 70 30-06 for $200.

Gave my son my other Winchester Model 70 30-06 ("gave" as in free).

I no longer have a 30-06. Sure wish I did. May have to work on that.

The one I don't miss at all was a beautiful arsenal refinished (when they were new into the US market too) FN49 out of Egypt IIRC, in 8mm Mauser. Darned thing had sear & recoil spring issues I was unable to solve. If it had run al all, I would've been happy to keep it.
