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.

I've got revolvers and levers in .38/357, and when the handgun ban was on the way I happened across a post for a .357 desert eagle. The asking price was a bit steep but within my price range and it would have been cool to add one to the collection, particularly in a calibre I already stock. But I hummed and hawed too long and lost the chance to buy one.

(there was also the 6-Unica I saw in MN, but that Unicorn was $15k plus the border transfer headache)

A Mateba 6 Unica repro is in the works, including the Canada legal Grifone carbine but it’s gonna be a while and they won’t be cheap…
