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.

For me it was the Smith and Wesson FPC and the Keltex RDB. Both got away because of bans.
The FPC, I loved the look of, and how compact it is compared to other pccs. Having the magazine in the grip like a pistol easily saves several inches in overall length, making it feel like a 15-16 inch barrel vs the 18.6 inch barrel rifles. And then it folds up smaller!!!
Plus the price. 1k at the time, plus a carrying case and 3 magazines?? What a deal!!!!
The RDB was further on my purchase list. The 1500 dollar price Tag was harder to swallow, but a cool space looking bullpup was right up my star wars loving alley. Add in those short pistol mags and it was almost a blind mag and didn't look like a bullpup, just a really short SBR rifle. I also don't own any 223 rifles.
So yeah, those two guns I missed out on. Perhaps I'm lucky, I didn't buy them and have 2.5k in paperweights, but I wish I had them
