Ever sell a S&W and regret it?

[lowriderfxr]

Me too. Like who hasn't? About 10 years ago I sold a buddy a LNIB 18-3 that shipped with magna type stocks and TT and TH. I really regretted it since I did it and I'd think about it every time I saw him. One day I ran across him at the LGS and decided I had nothing to lose. I told him that I always regretted selling it and to my amazement he said, "Well come get it!" I asked what he wanted for it and he said whatever I sold it for. I told him that I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't give him more. He said give me what you think. I tried to give him more and he insisted that I only give him 100.00 more. I went by his house tonight and he asked if I wanted the stainless one I sold him too. I had completely forgotten the other one. He said " look since you insisted on giving me more just take both of them!" I'm gonna make it right, but look what I got tonight. Good friend, good night!

Thats a good friend.

Dang. I need some buddies like yours.

I've only sold one S&W and it was to my son, so I don't regret it. I've sold a few rifles that I wish I had back.

This answers the question if S&W ever shipped guns with Magna stocks and TT and TH and no RR.

I think most of us have sold or traded guns we regret,.i just traded a couple guns and am still alittle freaked out...........I traded a smith shorty 45,box etc excellent for a smith 16-4,4 in.,box etc..I'm not a big 45 guy so I can live w/ that trade.........the second trade was a 66 f-comp,box etc....for a smith 631,32 mag,4 in., 1 0f 40,box etc......not feeling so good about that trade.....guess ya gotta give up something good to get something good.

I had to sell....

I had to sell my model 10 and would very much liked to have kept it. I would regret selling any S&W, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Sure do. 4 inch , 6 inch , 8/38 inch 27-2's ... Nickel and a blue 6.5 inch and two 4 inch 29-2's from the early to mid 70's. several 28's 19's 66's and 586's. two 36's. 645-1006,624,57's etc. 1911 fever can do that to a person.Crying now!

I had a plug ugly 2" model 15 with a matte blue frame and barrel but everything else was chromed. That was the best shooting revolver I have ever owned! I paid around $200.00 for it and sold it for about the same. I wish I could find it and buy it back.

"Like who hasn't?" is right. 4" 686 and 4" 629 for a FN-SPR 2-3 years ago. Love the SPR but sure miss those 2!

They say "If you love something let it go, if it was meant to be it will come back" the caveat to that is "If it doesnt come back hunt it down and kill it" or so I hear...

Actually Im just kidding ...Also learned along time ago to not sell my firearms to avoid regretting selling my firearms.

Before I was interested in Cowboy Action shooting I had a 627 PC V comp. and a 360 PD that I traded for some Cowboy guns. Big mistake! I was able to replace the 627 with a model close to it; but not the same. I did replace the 360 PD with a M&P 340. Just not as good as what I originally had.

Every single one I ever parted with, except for three. I bought my daughter a 642 that had the lock...I did not keep it a week. The second was a 1076, the design of the decocker irked me and I never shot it well, so I traded it. The last was a K22, I did not care for it at all.

I had a like new Model 53, with 8 3/8" bbl, that I had returned to the factory to have the extra .22 lr cylinder fitted. After having it a couple of years I sold it while stationed in Alaska in 1971......would sure like to have it back!!

 

[lebomm]

Yeah, a 5" 1950 .44 Military. Dunno what the heck I was thinking.

25 years ago I traded into a pre-29 4" with the box and tools for about 250.00. I called a LGS and told them what I had and the clerk put the phone down and I heard him yell to his boss who wanted me to bring it in and he would give me 200.00 for it. Another LGS told me it was a fake that had been altered. I eventually called a fellow in Florida who collected registered magnums who told me what I had. I sold it for 1400.00 but I sure wish I had it now. It was not a fake and I have never done business with the two shops that tried to cheat me again.

Every one of them.

 

[KarmannGhia]

YES, and never again

 

[MPSGT]

Yes . . . but not just the S&W's. Almost every gun I ever sold, I regret selling. When I think back on some of the beautiful guns I let go for one reason or another I just shake my head. Of course there were a few dogs that I'm glad are gone though. Live and learn.

 

[zzclancy]

Every one of them.
