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.

u/IPSC_Canuck May 13 '26

This would likely be a very long list without pretty specific parameters.

I’ll keep it down to guns I was ready to order just before legislation prevented me from doing so.

There were two:

  1. S&W 929 Jerry Miculek Performance Centre revolver. This is arguably the firearm that dominates IPSC revolver division. At least it’s the revolver which can be bought in a “ready to compete state” in that division. I’m a standard division shooter, but I have other guns which can be shot in the other divisions. I’d like to have the ability to shoot all the divisions and I have all but two. This brings me to…

  2. An Infinity Open gun in 38 Super. I was just perusing CRAFM for what they had, and had fondled a few at nationals. I figured if I were going to take the plunge I might as well go all the way.

There are so many more I wish I could own just because I want to own a major piece of firearm history. AK-47, PPSH, G43, and STG-44 would be a few examples. But this list would get pretty long pretty quickly if it weren’t for ridiculous Canadian gun laws.
