I understand the one that got away effect only too well, jaysouth. In what may rank as one of my most colossal blunders, I was once offered a spanking new Browning Hi-Power with a factory aluminum frame and I let it get away. I think the dealer wanted something like $200.00 for it because everyone thought it was a knockoff (it wasn't). Ouch!
Don't even get me started on all the now-vanished Smiths I've either passed up or sold/traded off, either. I just might cry
