What's Your Biggest Gun Selling Regret?

Selling a HK P7M8 for $1200. I miss it due to it being unique
Sold mine like 20 years ago. Probably the most accurate pistol I ever shot.

Got rid of it do to its fixed barrel, all steel design would heat up to fast to really enjoy a day of training/ casual shooting.
 
This list is too long for me to remember everything, but here are the ones that come to recent memory

1. Springfield TRP half rail and a full rail one
2. HK USP 9
3. P226 made in Germany
 
No regerts (sorry for the old meme reference, haha!!)

All guns are tools to me. Super-cool and useful, but just tools. I've bought/sold all kinds of items over the years, including guns from my dad, uncle, and best friend.

And, like a poster said above, I'm ready to start downsizing to a few choice pieces. Quality over quantity...or something like that, haha!!
 
Fully built out and converted Saige with all Zenitco rails and muzzle brake. The zentico had the akoperators union badging in it as well.
 
TC 14" Contender pistol in .223 with 2X LER scope. Sold it because I needed $$ to buy a comp pellet rifle.
 
I sold an LE trade in USP 45 to a friend to buy an HK45. Wish I had kept it and just bought the HK45.
 
I sold off a Winchester’94 (post-64) about 40 years ago that I probably should have kept but otherwise, I don’t have any huge regrets. I’ve kept most of what I’ve purchased over the years and only sold off a few that I didn’t have a connection to and we’re just taking up space. I should probably liquidate some of my collection again but I’m not sure if I can.
 
For me,,,sold my S&W Mod 13-3, purchased new, sold it a year later to fund something else. Sold my SIG P220, purchased new, sold it to fund a S&W 340PD.
 
Selling my SP01 when I got it for $600. Svetlana was a beauty.
 
Not really firearm, But close enough
Years back I had a Movie Prop M-1 Thompson
Had ribbed barrel , Cutts compensator. G I sling and wood ....
All the actions worked , Had 10 ' bullets ' that could be loaded with a blank load
The thing was a Beast
Made me feel like Sgt. Saunders !!!
I would bring it out to show a shooting friend and instantly get a O.M. G.

But , I thought all I can do is show it ,,,,Can't shoot it
So I put it up for sale on Gunboards ,,,Had a guy instantly want it
He was a W.W. II re-enactor ,,,Had a mount for it on his Half-track

At least it went to a good home .......
 
I think i have only sold 3 guns over my collecting years. Sig mosquito, k22 smith, and coonan 357. I dont miss any of them. The coonan was cool but not a great shooter in my opinion and sold it for top $$$ so i was happy to see it go.
 
My first handgun which was a HK USP Expert 45 and later a USP 9, ‘94 date code for a gen4 Glock 17… it seemed like a good deal at the time but man I messed up.
