When I was younger, many were sold for financial reasons, and yes there are a couple of regrets. Lately, I have traded up to better firearms. A Taurus PT92AF became a Berreta 90-TWO after two trades. A eastern block PPK copy became a P232 with minimal cash added. I believe now, as finances are much better, that I have nothing left to trade, as all are now a better grade of guns. Makers such as SIG, S&W, FN, Springfiled, etc. now reside in the safe. But that does not mean that I will never sell or trade again. But now money will go back into the collection, not back to household expenses. So, in a sense, they never leave, just change.
