Old Friend Returns

[303 hunter]

In 2012, I was out of work 14 months due to back injury. Eventually, I had to sell a few guns to make ends meet. The one I hated selling most was my Kimber Stainless Target 45 that had been massaged by the Kimber custom shop. I told the buyer my situation, and asked for first chance if he ever decided to sell it.

Last week, the gentlemen who bought it made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, and I picked it up Friday. He told me he’d never fired it in the seven years in his possession. It’s home for good....

I also had a Colt Combat Elite 2 tone I let go years ago. Hindsight is 20/20.

Been there, too. Out of work for four months due to a semi pulling out in front of me on the highway. Had to sell my beloved older style Walther P99 .40 S&W in OD green. When I finally got the settlement, I couldn't find any available, so I bought a couple of M&Ps and XDs to try out and ended up keeping the M&ps.

Glad you got your buddy back!

What I wouldnt gve to get back my first handgun and revolver- a Rockford Park Police M681. Had to sell it in the dark days of '08 to feed the kids.

This is the only gun Ive ever bought twice-

A minty Astra A600 I traded for some other shiny object that caught my eye. Two months and several paychecks later, the poor Astra was still sitting in the display case unloved and unbought, so I brought it back home. Glad I did, I think Im the only person on Earth who actually likes shooting the old "pipewrench" and actually does pretty well with it. Lol.

I had to let go of a Smith & Wesson Model 27-2 N-frame revolver some years back, I bought it for $275.00 when these revolvers were going for cheap. I really wish I could find another one similar to it for a fair price.

That is truly sad situation to be in. Years ago, fresh out of college, wife and new baby, I had to sell my Colt Woodsman Sport. I regretted selling that little pistol ever since. It was a true joy to shoot. A while back I found one, made in 1976, new in the box, unfired. Getting it home was like reuniting with an old friend. I haven’t shot this one much at all, I sure love to look at and handle it. I hope I never have to part with this one and my Grandson gets and enjoys it as I have.
