Misc What’s your one firearm that got away?

Whether it was because the model ceased being produced, it was OIC’d the night before or a gunpost deal that fell through.

Jericho 9mm. I had my license but my partner at the time didn’t like guns so the 2022 handgun “buy by” date came and went and I missed out (relationship only lasted another 5 months from clear differences). Next time if I get the chance, I’m not missing it.

I actually had a Jericho one as well kinda - once the handgun freeze started, and people started buying up everything that was still available, I ordered an old Jericho from some retailer out east. I already had a bunch of handguns, including a CZ75, but I always thought they were kinda cool so I figured I might as well grab one.

Anyways I eventually got an email from the retailer that their shitty website was actually wrong and they didn’t have any to sell me, by which point there were none available anywhere else. I was pissed, since I could have ordered it from a different store in the first place but now there were none left.

I would’ve been so mad at that. I legit never would’ve shopped at that store again (hopefully you haven’t). Sorry to hear we’re both in the no Jericho boat

I hadn’t before then, and indeed I have not since.

I honestly haven’t bought many new firearms since then at all, since handguns were my main interest and the one rifle I picked up in the last few years, planning to get into longer-range shooting, got banned after I only used it twice. Eat shit Trudeau.

Not really on the top of my buy list, but I will admit it would be cool owning the gun from Cowboy Bebop.

Wish I didnt read this one too. Always wanted one of the IWI Chrome Jericho.
