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.

Gun store I went to had a Steyr GB on consignment for like $850 I think. One of the pistols I always wanted most specifically, just because it’s so cool and mechanically interesting.

But at the time I didn’t have tons of money available to blow and figured I shouldn’t buy another 9mm that I probably wasn’t actually going to shoot much.

Also the old but really nice Colt Official Police in .38 Special that they had at one point, think it was only like $400. Again, already had a nice .357 and couldn’t justify it to myself.
