Someone else started a 'what cars have you owned' thread but being this is essentially a firearms forum, I figured why not start a 'what guns have you owned thread'. So here goes but bear in mind this is not an all inclusive list, I am sure to have forgotten at least one or a few. Note I am starting with handguns and will ad long guns later:
Beretta 21 (Bought in in 1990s, sold it later on.)
Beretta 70S (stolen from when UPS left on my doorstep after being returned from beretta for repairs.)
Beretta 70S (A replacement for above.)
Beretta 92FS (Bought at NY Iron Works 1997.)
Beretta 92 FS (Bought at NY Iron Works 1997, yes, I bought two of them.)
Beretta 92SB (Bought when I was in the Border Patrol in 1981 or so).
Beretta 92SB (Replacement from Beretta for above pistol which was faulty.)
Beretta 950BS (aka: Jetfire, .25 Auto. I owned at least 2 or maybe 3 of these. Sold them all sooner or later.)
Charter Arms .38 Spl. Snubnose, (I bought it in 1980 or 81, sold it in 81. Less than desirable revolver or in other words a POS.)
Charter Arms Explorer (Semi-auto pistol, sort of reminiscent of a Broomhandle Mauser. Had fun with it and sold it since it was problematic.)
Glock 26 (Bought directly from Glock many moons ago. Still have and carry it.)
High Standard M-101 Duramatic (Bought at Hessney Auction, great price, in 2012. A very nice {98% or better condition} and well-functioning pistol. Sold it early.)
Ortgies (Bought this in 2001 from a guy at work. Great little and old pistol. My oldest gun.)
Remington R1-1911 Bought this at Syracuse gun show a few years ago.)
RG (A pocket type semi-auto, model unknown, in .25 ACP. I bought it in Las Vegas in late 1970’s. Destroyed it when I moved back to NYC. My first gun bought it new in a gun store / pawn shop.
Rock Island Armory 1911 A1 Full Size (Bought this last year, sent in to Armscor for warranty issue, is now being replaced by them and I am waiting to get the new one.)
Ruger MK-II (Bought this in 1984 at LGS, still have it.)
Ruger Redhawk (Purchased from Hunter Essentials in Spring 2016 prior to Alaska trip.)
Smith & Wesson Model 22A-1 (Purchased at Hessney Auction 2014. Was fun to shoot but quality was not there. Sold 2016.)
Smith & Wesson 17-8 (Bought this in 1999 at a gun show, excellent revolver, still have and enjoy it.)
Smith & Wesson 66 (Bought in early 1980’s, was a piece of shit, so I sold it.)
Smith & Wesson Model 66 (Bought in 200, sold in 2001. Quality had not improved with these since my last one.)
Taurus PT145 Millennium Pro (Bought at an auction in upstate NY. Nice gun, functioned well but there was a recall on it.)
Taurus PT140 (Received in exchange for the above. Fuck Taurus for sending me a 40 caliber instead of a 45 like the one that was replaced!)
I think that is it for pistols (had to edit to add my Ruger Redhawk 44 REM MAG) and only heaven knows if I recalled all of them. Long guns to be added later.
