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.
