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.

Colt 1911 in stainless, I was working at a local gun store when the pistol ban came through, people came in droves to buy up every pistol they could everything from desert eagles in 50ae all the way down to the cheapest Girsan 22lr we had in stock, it was close the end of my shift. I was counting down the minutes to buy my pistol then a customer came in 30 minutes before the end of my shift and bought the last one.
