It was the best of times and the worst of times...
No time to regret the decisions of others.
Sometimes people (read family) do things that cannot be explained. For the record, I didn't sell it outside the family.
I was just fortunate to have it for the time I did.
This is really the only "shoulda kept it" gun I've had, but I was obligated to sell it back to my brother - I assume the role of family pawn shop on occasion.
Looking back, I should have just put up the cash to keep it...
