[gerhard]

Well..about 6 months ago....I got a wild hair and had to have an Interarms Luger...with a 6" barrel....and the guy I was trading with wanted my S&W Model 36-1 with the 3" heavy barrel.....after some haggling..we finally traded....couple days later....realization hit me....."Wish I hadn't traded that 3" barrel S&W"......Im sure you guys have done much the same thing....traded a pistol off....and shortly thereafter regretted it....well I did....until last nite...when I found the Twin of it for sale by a Dealer out west.....its now paid for..FFL copy sent...hopefully will be here end of week and i will post photos.....this time.....it will NOT be traded off..!!..and as its a twin of the one I had...hope to sneak it by "The Boss" .....now Im looking for a good used brown holster for it........if anyone out there has one that will fit the 36-1 with the 3' barrel...let me know....and I'm looking for a Belt holster by the way.......This is a Super site....altho I keep getting in trouble by being on it......this is the 2nd S&W I've purchased last two months..

Many years ago, in one of the gun pubs, there was the story about two friends who went to a gun show. One had a nice rifle, the other two empty 30/30 cases and a pocketknife with a broken blade. They went in opposite directions around the show. When they met up six hours later, the one who started with the nice rifle had two empty 30/30 cases and a pocket knife with a broken blade, and the other had a nice rifle. I would be the one who started with the rifle; yes, a regret or two!

Same here. I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption...

I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Is it better to regret something you have done or haven't done?

 

[williamlayton]

At some point a person has to learn if he is a good trader or a sucker who likes to trade.
I am a poor trader and don't do it.
memories but not regrets---I learned and it was a lesson--not a regret.

And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew

Bank Commercial

Howdy,
These stories remind me of a bank commercial running on network TV in the St. Louis area.
A father asks his ice cream eating son "Where did you get that ice cream cone?". The son replies "I traded my new bicycle for it". The announcer goes on to say "Teach your children about money."
I don't know what it is, but sometimes the need for change overcomes common sense.
Thanks
Mike

I traded a Mini 14 and cash for a Socom 16. I miss the Mini but I don't regret the trade. But it will feel funny paying twice what I did the first time for a new Mini when I replace her.

THAT'S RIGHT! I about choked when I read "Elvis."

I'm thinking anyone with no regrets hasn't been let off their leash and let out of the house enough.

 

[arjay]

No regrets- can't be more than a year or two old.

You got me too! I suppose if I had stopped to notice the poster's name, I would have known better. I guess outrage took over...
