I only really regret selling/trading two guns.
1. Like a couple of posters above, I had an original CZ-75 purchased in Germany that our Corps chief of staff authorized me to carry on or off duty in uniform or not.

I carried it loaded with 124 grain Federal 9x19mm truncated cone match ammo. It was stolen in the mid ‘90’s after I retired the first time. After riding around loose in the trunk of the thief’s car, I got it back all scratched to hell and gone. Heartsick, I traded it in on something else and have regretted it ever since.
2. The other was a blued 3 inch barreled Colt Detective Special with the exposed ejector rod, original grips, and a Tyler T-Grip adapter that thought it was a target pistol. (No photo) I sold it in a moment of weakness to help fund a .375 H&H Magnum Whitworth Express Rifle for a safari to Africa that never happened due to governmental political interference. I’m still pissed about that because I went to get the DS back and it sold within an hour of my selling it to the LGS!
