Walther PP in .22LR.
Sako Hunter AV in .300WM.
Forgot one. Trap grade 870, three barrel set of fixed chokes.
Sold a few others with no regrets, as I only sell to fund a better one, now.

My big regret was a model 29 4 screw with 6 1/2" barrel in excellent condition.

In the early 80's I bought two S&W first model, 3rd editions, for a total of $50. They were in great shape. Sold them a year later for twice what I paid for them. Wish I still had them, they were cute!!
Non S&W, a Luger Artillery Model, all matching #'s, with holster. Bought if for $125, sold it for $270 to get money for a landscaping project...for a house I no longer own. I saw the dealer list it later for WAY more than I sold it to him for.
Live and learn.
And, I sold a Ruger 10/22 that I used for plinking when I needed to put a down payment on an engagement ring.
Darn, I miss that rifle.

All of them, guns are for buying!
IF i had to pick a one it would be my Grandfathers Browning auto which I traded off in the 70's for a "never fail ya" wingmaster.
Wish I could 've kept them all!

I regret selling all of them, but mostly my model 28 I carried on duty for many years. Therefore I do not sell any of my guns now.
A couple of Colts top my list starting with a 1979 manufactured Python 8 inch Royal Blue with box.Had to sell it to buy equipment for a new job. Then I traded off a Government Model 380, bright nickel with the white grips to buy a Colt Combat Commander 9MM in satin nickel; which I hated. Traded it on who knows what.
I only regret trading two S&W's. A 27-2 6.5 inch with box and a 66-1 6 inch.

My 70's Colt goverment 1911 in nickel finish, I may replace it with a nickel RIA 1911 soon.
My 70's Colt Python 6'' barrel in blue, but i'll replace it with a new 357 S&W soon. I purchased five s&w in 357 around Christmas time.(13/14)

My dad threw out over 500 1960's comic books. And probably more than his retirement.

S&W Model 10 (nickel) made in 1966
Colt Govt Model 1911
Those hurt the most to think about but there are several others.
A wise man once told me: "Never sell guns-find other ways to pay for new ones"

A RB, 3 inch Model 547, NIB and 2 Model 520s, LNIB. All 3 were DUMB moves. I sd them for $300 apiece for a $25 profit.
Plus a mint, unissued 3 inch Model 65 that was supposed to be issued to the local Animal Rescue league. It went back to S&W for some custom work (RR insert and trigger job), but they went to 5946s before it got back. So it went to the dealer, where I grabbed it cheap. Sold it for $275 and still made a buck.

I have two regrets. Selling my Combat Masterpiece production 1951 and my 28-2 4 inch production 1968. Sometimes a person makes judgement mistakes.

The same one I continue to seek a replacement for, my CS-1. 
Virtually all of them, other than a dog or two that weren't worth keeping.
