Re: Weapons that you DON'T regret selling or trading
Taurus TCP .380.
Trigger was junk. Take down required a screw driver or punches if you didn't want to scratch it up. Then assembly required perfection. I had it all jammed up one time. Spent hours trying to get it back apart without tearing it up. Finally, swallowed my pride and took it to the local gunshop. They got it apart using pure force which is what I was trying not to do. Anyway, after that the pin stuck out from the gun about 1/16th of and inch and could snag on clothing.
Also dont regret selling a S&W XVR 460.
I felt like The Joker. I don't hunt with pistols so didn't need it. I remember buying it on base for 50% off (so about $550) and then taking it to the gun show. Asked around for ammunition. None. Online it was $33/20 rnds. Traded it to a little person (PC enough?) for a Keltec 9mm (not a P11) and a Ruger M77 Mark II Ultralight .243 w/o scope and a Benjamin. I feel like I made out on that one. A buddy wanted the pistol so I sold it to him a couple months later on the cheap. Still have the Ruger and of course the Benjamin was spent on necessities (aka beer).

Walther PPK/S - Hated that gun. Lusted after it for quite a while, and finally bought it to carry around when I lived in Detroit. Tried to like it, but it was heavy with a long, heavy trigger pull. Also painful to shoot with its thin backstrap and slide bite. The topper whas that it was a jam-o-matic. Traded it for a series 70 Gold Cup at a gun show many years ago and never looked back....

+1 on the Taurus TCP. Mine did function fine and it was surprisingly accurate but boy was it tiny. I let my mother in law have it cause she was looking for one of its ilk. I couldnt get a grip on it at all. I was actually always fearful that I would shoot my finger off, it literally disappeared in my hand. I now rotate between an lc9, a 1911, and an m&p 40 compact. Man do I love carrying my m&p.

Sold the first gun I purchased my wife. Chiappa m9-22. Worst gun ever. Would never make it through a mag without multiple failures. Only gun I've ever parted with other than four long guns which were stolen.

I sold a SA Xdm .45 5.25 comp to buy a Ruger SR1911 commander, I just don't like striker fired guns, The Ruger 1911 shoot much better and is now my favorite semi and my S&W 686 4" my favorite revolver.

Re: Weapons that you DON'T regret selling or trading
Llama min max 45. A co-worker's wife was on his case about loaning money to his deadbeat friend, so he decided to sell one of his many guns to get around her anger and still help his friend. He was an extremely nice guy, so even though I really didn't want the gun, I helped him out. He said he would try to buy it back from me, but never could. After many moons of sitting in my safe, I went to the gun show and sold it for what I paid. Never even shot the gun. It was easy sell becuase it wasn't a gun I was really interested in and they guy didn't want it back. Plus, I think it weighed about 15lbs and that was about the same time frame where I was getting interested in Glocks so I had no interest in a knock off 1911.

This thing had the weirdest hammer on it ever. No decocker, you just flipped it forward with your hand. They called it "tri action." I called it SPOOKY!

Dang it. I wanted one of these. What was wrong with it?HighVelocity wrote:Kel-tec sub2000. What a waste of time...
My Sold list is pretty short:
Browning A5 12ga. , Too pretty to roll around in the rice fields with. Never liked the feel when shooting straight up. I did not like to change guns when hunting quail. Love the Mossberg pump...
Llama .380 , Stiff slide, lousy trigger. Unreliable. It went as a partial trade on a '68 GTO.

Re: Weapons that you DON'T regret selling or trading
I recently sold an sks for more than triple the price I paid for it. It was kinda neat to have but it sat in the safe most of time.
Re: Weapons that you DON'T regret selling or trading
NAA Guardian in .25NAA. It was my first pocket pistol. I loved the size, but hated the caliber.
I have a much longer list of regrets when I ran into financial trouble after my divorce. Sold quite a few sentimental pieces.

Mine chose to spend their days back at the Kimber factory getting re-worked and still not running right. My safe was the better for it IMO...The Annoyed Man wrote:You don't own a Kimber. They merely consent to share your safe for a while.gigag04 wrote:Every Kimber I've owned...
