Gun regrets, "the one that got away".

[S&Wshooter]

I could have bought a used Springer instead of my shitty High Standard. I only saw the Springfield AFTER I had Bought the High Standard, even though I had walked around the whole gunshow looking for a 1911. I should have looked harder before I bought something

WWII Colt M1911A1 for around $550, it had been modified. adjustable sights, different trigger etc, but nothing that couldn't have been reversed. I had the money for it at the time, but decided to wait for a better one. Ones in worse condition, sell for more nowadays.

Colt Series 70 Combat Government for $600 or 650, it was well used. But still good for the price. A customer who owned us money was supposed to come by in the morning to pay us, the auction didn't run out until lunch, but the guy didn't show up until the afternoon after the auction had already ran out. Didn't want to risk bidding and have to borrow.

Just recently a satin nickel SIG P226 for for $490, waited too long and someone else got it. But I think I ended up with something better.

Mine was a Magnum Research Baby eagle .380 that I sold for $400 so I could buy a glock 19...I regret it almost every day since...but i still like my 19

Wait, they make a Jericho in .380? Or do you mean a Micro Desert Eagle?

Yes...i mean the Magnum Research "Micro" eagle. It just fit in the pocket so nice...the Glock 19 conceals easy enough with a inside the pants holster but nothing like a pocket gun.

A nice review on the pistol. I was under the impression they weren't very good, guess I was wrong. Since it's a clone of another pistol, I guess it's not surprising that it's well made, despite Magnum Research's hit or miss works.

Personally I prefer a gun I can fit in my hand, and one that goes single action after firing. An 8lb trigger in a gun I can barely hold makes shooting somewhat difficult, and if I needed to pull it out and shoot quick, I'd doubt my abilities to use it accurately.

But to each his own.

if i could only have one gun then i wouldnt even gave it a second look...but for a close range self-defence pistol that you want to be able to conceal no matter what you happen to be wearing it is hard to beat. You can double tap a bad primer unlike the majority of 380 pocket guns and since the trigger is the safty i had no problem with a 8lb. If i wanted a full grip with a beautiful 3.5lb trigger i would use my kimber 10mm customized eclipse.

it is for sure a close range defense pistol with a slight sting. I hit targets great at 15 yards and it is comfortable for the first few mag fulls. Fits super great in the pocket and in clothes i normally wouldnt conceal in. Trigger pull is on the heavey side but for safety thats not a total bad thing for its purpose. Thank you for asking
