Had to sell some due to a disease of the elderly, pernicious financial anemia.

Traded others for things I wanted more, and sometimes wondered why I wanted something else more--a lovely CZ-75 and a nice little Smith 459 come to mind. Got rid of a couple because they just didn't work for me, notably a Kel-Tec P32. Nice enough little gun, but just didn't fit my hand well enough for me to be able to shoot it well, and I didn't think the caliber was adequate for SD (I know, I know, it's better than a Nerf gun).

But as I've aged, either my tastes have become more refined (which I choose to believe) or I'm becoming an old throwback (possibly true): I've returned to my first love, revolvers. Older Smiths for choice, though I've had a couple of Rugers I liked a lot.
