Most of us have guns we wish we still had. One of mine is a Colt Woodsman. I bought it at Jimmy's pawn in Fort Walton Beach when I was in college. I think he felt a little sorry for me because he took an H&R revolver and $55 for it.

That was the best .22 pistol I have ever had. I traded it to a dealer who was also a coon hunter. He traded me a Springfield 03A3 with a Redfield Receiver sight and sourdough front blade. He also threw in 1000 rounds of Lake City match.

I may have gotten the best of the deal but would love to have that gun back.

I know exactly how you feel... Every now and then, I'll get asked by someone if I'm interested in selling my S&W 629 Power Custom Grand Master. When I'm a bit short on cash, sometimes I'll get a bit wobbly on it, but then I remember that I bought it used for less than $400, and I would NEVER be able to find another one of these. Besides, if I ever do want to sell it, I feel a moral obligation to go back to the guy who sold it to me in the first place. He deserves the first option to buy it back.

BTW, here's what it looks like, although mine's based on a 629, in .44 Mag, so mine's bigger and heavier.
