Ones that got away

[J.Baker]

Never been a huge handgun guy, but over the years I've had a few pass through my hands via trade that now I really wish I had held on to.

First would be a Colt Python 4" .357 mag that I got in trade from Pat (82boy) for an AR15 upper assembly. This was back when you could still buy an older Python for $500-600. I held on to it for about a year before selling it to raise funds for some other gun I wanted. Had it been a 6" I probably would have kept it as it would have been legal for hunting here in Ohio. Naturally a year or two after I sold it the prices on the snake guns went through the roof.




The second would be a Dan Wesson 6" .357 Mag that I took in trade for a gray rat Savage Model 99G in .300 Savage. Great shooting gun, but again - I'm just not a big handgun guy so I eventually ended up selling it. In hindsight it would have been perfect for deer hunting from a stand here in Ohio, but alas... that wasn't on my mind at the time and I probably had my eye on something else that I wanted more.

Parted with a Redhawk .45 colt / .45acp moon clip that doubled in price.

Dan Wesson 8" Vent Rib 41 Magnum ...extremely accurate...and a Colt Diamondback.

3" S&W model 19 and a super accurate GP100.

We have one of those sitting in the case at the shop right now, I have been seriously eyeballing it!

Not many that I miss, top of the list would be my Colt New Frontier 6" .22lr/.22mag convertible, my first new revolver, I really didn't get rid of it, it was burned up in a house fire along with nearly everything else I owned. There were a few others over the years, a 27 Smiff, Dan Wesson pistol pack with all the stuff, a pretty nice original1851 Navy that was stolen.

I have one I bought off a friend a long time ago. Love the feel of it and wish it was a 45LC.

Did not know you were still alive! Been a long time.

Apparently that's the account that my TapaTalk app on the phone is linked to. How that happened is beyond me, as is how to change it to this account as that's probably the first I've opened the TT app in 2-3 years.

Whew, I don't even know where to start. Most all are Smith wheelguns. I have been fortunate enough to replace some of them but there are others that still escape me. Hopefully, one day I'll find copies to add back to my collection!

Ol mike…you made it.

Traded my ruger bisley hunter off for a 223 xp 100. Great revolver but my redhawk has much more seniority anyway.

seen a 3 screw 357 blackhawk at the flea mkt this summer but was kinnda tight for cash. It was a reasonable price though. It will haunt me for yrs.
