I bought an HK USP 45 Tactical while stationed in Germany in 1999. I brought it back to the states with me, and ended up selling it for around $800. It had no import markings, and I had all of the paperwork, box, 12 round mags, etc that came with it. Momma had made the rule that if I wanted a new gun, an old one had to go. This went to fund a 12 gauge Benelli.

I miss that USP.

Believe it or not a Star PD. Alloy frame, no friggin' grip safety and one of the smoothest single action GM type pistols I've ever shot. PIA because of the proprietary magazines it used and the small plastic guiderod buffer it required about every 1000 rounds...I shot it a lot...and carried it a lot. I sold it in the late 90's...so no pic.

I've since "gone Glock" and 9mm...but it was a nice little gun. :pleased:

 

Mine was a M45 Firestar, reliable and decently accurate. Wish I still had that back.

Taurus PT-145. Man I wanted to like that gun. Grip felt really good, the trigger was nice and crisp and it was about as accurate as a drunk, blind man with tourettes

I had one and traded it and just had to get another one and it jammed constantly.

Kinda like that girl that you really want to be attractive, but you realize no matter how many times you look you can't wish it into being so. Edited February 25, 2015 by netmindr

sig 220. an older Browning with the euro heel mag release. 

[tercel89]

I miss every G30 I ever had and that's more fingers and maybe toes than I have. :shake:

 

 I still have one of your G30's and carry it on my days off work all the time :up:

sig 220. an older Browning with the euro heel mag release. 

 

 

From my admittedly limited experience (I've only fired one of those), That is one of the most inherently accurate handguns Sig ever made. The heel mag release didn't bother me in the least.

[Caster]

None. They're gone and I've not regretted it once.

Colt 45 1911 Government Issue. Regret the day I sold it.

I regret losing my first 1911, a Colt Government Model purchased in 1978.  I don't regret losing the exwife who sold it.

Original Springfield full dust cover TRP OPERATOR. Best shooting 1911 I have ever owned. Including the WIlson, Ed Brown customs.

[willis68]

I regret selling every 1911 that I had, at one time I had 10 very nice ones, The one I regret more than any I sold off Has to be The Ed Brown Executive Elite, I owned this pistol for nearly 3 years

 

Second would have to be my Kobra Carry

 

Third would be my Nighthawk Custom, 

 

 

Wilson Combat CQB Elite

 

 

Ed Brown Special Forces Light Rail

 

 

Two Different TRS Les Baers

 

 

 

I am now down to one that I like more than any of the others I have ever owned, I know if I ever have to sell this one I will regret it more than anything

Three Les Baer TRS, Springfield TRP and a G21SF with picatinny rail.

[rocketman]

Colt Series 70 1911. It was the first pistol I ever bought and I can't believe I sold it.

EAA Witness Match....sweet and accurate shooter, well balanced and all steel frame. Hard times, tough decisions but family and bills come first.....

[et45]

Para Ordinance P14 Limited the most reliable auto I have ever owned .I was still doing construction work and due to bad weather in the winter I worked about 60 hrs in a 4 week stretch so it had to go

I resemble Willis's post................

And another one Bites the Dust,

 

 

I think I just sold my all time favorite 1911, one that I swore to myself I would never do, 

 

 

But for a Down payment on a 2014 Softtail Slim Harley Davidson,  when I pick up the Bike, the loss of my favorite pistol will not sting so bad!

Wish I still had my old "Clackamas, OR" rollmarked Kimber. That was one great 1911.

I may have found a worthy replacement... :D

[Dad03]

Bersa Thunder Pro compact. That thing loved everything and accurate! I must have put a few thousand rounds down it and the last was as good as the first.
I found a Norinco 1911 with a Wilson barrel and other internals at a dealer few years back. $350 and it came home with me and staying. Its nice.

Meh.  Should've kept the 1911.

[gregintenn]

I once had a Ruger Blackhawk with two cylinders. 45 Colt, and 45 ACP. I'd like to have it back.

Every time I think about selling a gun to buy something non-gun, I remind myself that the government isn't trying to ban whatever that other thing is. :)

The possible replacement...

I hate selling firearms period, that is for sure, I have a Wilson Combat Beretta 92 on the way however, so I may give  the 9mm a chance for a spell anyway :cool:
