I have never regretted a firearms purchase.
I have regretted several firearms sales.
There is a lesson here.
Come cry into a beer with me.
The single saddest tale of a lost love you will ever read.
Sold my SLR 106CR earlier this year—yes I regret it! :(
When I saw the headline, I thought of that beautiful blonde while in college, she took my heart and broke it in a thousand pieces....and you talk about...never mind.
Jingle bells, shot gun shells...
Firearms transactions go only ONE WAY from that day, on.
I buy, I never sell.
Women are transient, can leave on their own accord, and often have much baggage.
Pistols are permanent, cannot leave without your sales, and have -- as baggage -- only a box, instructions, and some cleaning equipment.
Many pistols have graced me with their presence; many women have graced me with their absence.
What! Nobody sells a CR without an unexpected pregnancy.
Ping. I think that this is going to be one of FR’s greatest holiday threads.
She was .45 caliber, and all blue.
With the most gorgeous rose wood grips you ever saw.
I traded her for a lesser specimen one day when I was not thinking well.
Ever to my regret.
I was trying to consolidate calibers. Bad move I know!
I owned a 107CR too about a year ago—parted from that one too.
I shall mourn for the FN Hi Power which I sold for $350.00 and also for the Illinois State Police S&W Model 19 which I sold for $300.00.
And I was in such a good mood.
Thanks for wrecking Christmas, ***hole.
Merry Effing Christmas. Where’s the Tylenol?

I have all my pistols. I can’t talk about the women. I flipped my green 69 Chavelle SS three times after falling asleep at the wheel many years ago. I miss that!
When you tell me this tale, I choke back a sob....
To firearms gone, but not forgotten!
(raises glass)
My current squeeze is a SLR104fr w/triangle folder and matching SLR107fr. I love them like mad!
OH! What a horrible tale!
My sincerest condolences!!! Did you ever recover from this incredible loss???
And I was in such a good mood. Thanks for wrecking Christmas, ***hole. Merry Effing Christmas. Where’s the Tylenol?
I'm so sorry... let us remember the good times, not the losses....
A good woman is a great find but their worth doesn't double over the years like a fine pistol does.
I also carry grief.
"Dear God, Why Oh Why Did I Take My Entire Firearm Collection Water Skiing With Me?!"
Deep scars I do carry.
Oh, the Humanity!
Merry Christmas
A P210, you have hidden depths unsuspected by us all my FRiend....
If you’re a gun guy and have no regrets... you’re not really a gun guy.
