These 5 Handguns You Should NEVER SELL

The 1 gun you don't sell is the one you have. The rest is called collecting.

I get sick to my stomach when i think about guns. My grandfather had them all. Colt Python blue & chromed , M 1911 2 of them , P38 , PPK ,S&W model 27 ,Ruger super Redhawk......and to this day , i have no clue what my mother did with the army chest PawPaw kept them in. He had two chest full of handguns (i know were well worth 6 figures). But being a teenager when he passed , nobody would listen to a punk kid. When i sat my mother down and showed her , just the ones i could positive remember, her jaw dropped. I hope whomever was lucky to have purchased that chest , cherishes the fine gift they received 😢😢😢😢.

In 1970 in Vietnam, I was the only Marine assigned to an Army Advisor Team, my Vietnamese brought me a gun that had been captured from the Viet Cong since on the slide was a Marine Corps Emblem! It was an original M1911 not 1911A1, but did have the wooden grips replaced by plastic A1 grips! I cleaned it up, fired it and it shot GREAT! Took pictures of it and sent a letter to the NRA. A few weeks later received a letter back stating that the weapon was in the First batch of M1911s purchased by the Marine Corps, I believe in 1914. Two years later when I rotated back to the States I gave it to my Vietnamese Sergeant Major, since as a U.S. weapon, it STILL was U.S. Government Property! Most likely got to Vietnam via France during WWII, then to Indo China, was captured by the Viet Minh, later given to the Viet Cong and recaptured by my Vietnamese soldiers! A LONG journey! Today worth a LOT of MON$Y!

In 1975, before Operation Frequent Wind was approved, the USS Durham took on 4400 Vietnamese soldiers and their families at Phang Rang and transported them to Vung Tau. Part of the agreement was that NO weapons could be brought aboard the ship by the Vietnamese soldiers. I was at the top of the ladder and searched each person coming up the ladder, lost count over how many Browning High Powers I threw into the ocean while searching Vietnamese soldiers and Policemen! I did KEEP a Smith & Wesson M&P .38 that a Vietnamese policeman gave me stating "This is NOT a Government gun, I bought it!" I stuck that in the back of my belt and later smuggled it into Okinawa and obtained an Import Permit from the USA....it's in my safe today!

Sadly I've owned all 5 and sold them all.

What the gun from the thumbnail?

The Durable Unmatchable High Point 45 Steel Cow U.B.! Never sale....Never...

Pissed me off I was almost able to buy the Colt Python once they brought it back I just had to save up enough money and then Trudeau introduce this stupid handgun ban now you can't get handguns in Canada anymore I was so close to getting one I've wanted one for so long

Samuel Colt was American, of course, you british subgeniuses. America WON against the british empire. Immigration to America from britain and its former empire was stopped between 1770 to 1834 when immigration from britain was allowed again in 1834. Those "white settlers" were Americans. European immigrants came from American Ally countries, Holland, France, Sweden, Philippines, etc. Americans were and are the original American "whites". Native American Status and Tribal Status are two different Statuses, as is American Indian Status. The US Army was predominantly American and American Ally and pretty well still is. The Philippines were American Allies who the british and their british-owned and operated democratic party in America opposed and rejected, the same british and their british-owned and operated democratic party in America that opposed and rejected and opposes and rejects America And Americans to this day!!

STOP reciting your nonexistent American History from imported british history books and imported british Hollywood movies and your imported democratic party minority supporters of them, and STOP trying to rewrite American History and disarm America, you british subbrainiacs!!

Great Job my Friend! Do more! Cheers! From Houston Texas!

Bro i clicked on the video because of the Stechkin aps in the thumbnail. But it's nowhere to be found in the vid

Im native american in canada i once had a russian rifle from ww2 i dont know how it got here but i sold it for 120$ and bought for 100$ so i made profit 😂😢

Thanks for your post. In the mid-1960s I served on a patrol ship in the Pacific with Guam as our homeport. The M1911 was our duty sidearm. These days, I own a Remington 1911 R1 Enhanced handgun in 45 ACP.

The first time I heard of a Colt Python was in The Walking Dead. That also played a factor in that revolvers value. Rick used one.

P38? do a lot of research on its history, date, place of manufacture, incidents of unrequested discharge and slide fracture....

Sell it

There's another handbgun very rare to find and that's Kongsberg Colt 45 caliber made in Belgium under the Nazi rule with their marking on it. Proud to have one in excellent condition.

The Colt SSA was not the gun that won the west. The Winchester 1873 rifle was the gun that won the west.

I've heard about the Phillipines warriors over and over.....how they were unaffected by the .38 caliber bullets. Simply poppycock. Maybe the Shields they were using were unaffected but no man is bullet proof

Look up the .32(7.65x17mmsr) Ortgies pistol. The Ortgies pistol was built from 1919-1924 and my grandfather have the first gen 7.65x17mm sr (.32auto) of this type.

Basically every gun I looked up on Gunbroker the last few days lol. I hope none of them watch this. 🤣

LMAO! I've been hearing this lie for over 50 years. I still have this 1964 Rifle that SHOULD (according to your LIES be worth more than it's weight in Platinum by now! It's not. At Best it's barely less than $800. And MUCH more likely less than half that.

Don't believe the lies... Just having the Gun itself is likely worth your life...

thank you very much...1911 the best of them all.

This could also be called "The Five Most Classic Handguns in History". Three were made by Colt, two were designed by John Browning (the 1911 and BHP) and one (the P38) took inspiration from the 1911 and BHP and became one of the foremost military pistols of the mid to late 20th Century. The P38 was also the inspiration for the Beretta 92 series which was the US military's primary pistol from 1985 to 2018. So far I own only of the five (the 1911) but I am not ready to shuck out $1K for a P38, $1,400 for a Python, $1,200 for a BHP nor $2K for a "good" M1873. They are all worth the money - I just don't have it to spare. Such is life.

If I've gotta choose a SA/DA handgun, the P38 is where it's at for me. I carry the late issue (P1) as my full sized carry and actually acquired an AC code (1942) wartime pistol as a backup (for 600 bucks!). The crazy thing is, I've done trigger work to the P1 to tighten the tolerances of the trigger bar/trigger pivot. However the wartime issue, all steel gun has about the same tolerances without any work having been done! Goes to show the batches they were producing them in during wartime were of excellent quality. Both use reduced power springs to lighten the trigger pull considerably.

I routinely scour the web for replacement parts, ranging from simple levers and springs all the way up to barrels and new slides. I've been planning to commission a machinist with installing threaded barrel attachments on the spare barrels I acquired. My father brought me up watching The Man from Uncle as a kid and have wanted to run a can on one of these babies for some time. If I had ludicrous amounts of disposable income, I've outlined some upgrades for an improved frame to build out what I call the P38 "Ultra".

The dream of a P38 Ultra would be to include a proper threaded barrel, a beveled mag well, a more squared off trigger guard with some stippling to aide in grip as well as tritium sights. It always pained me that Walther never pursued the venture of bringing back the P38. I know besides the PPK, they're completely future focused now. However I feel like the American markets would go nuts over an updated model. And almost all of the ideas I'd proposed are just some minor frame changes. Oh well, a pistol fanatic can dream. 🙄

How about the BroomHandle?

Sell ? I can´t even buy them!

never sell your hk p7m8

My dad owns a 6in original Python from the ... I think 70s to 80s!

"1911 are the most widely available pistol" yea not in california where a single action only chambered in 22lr civilians aren't allowed to own. I tried buying one and I got an email from the website saying it's only available to police in this state... wtf is that.... what police carry 22..... what police carry anything smaller than 9mm

My grandfather had both a colt python and a browning high power. His high-power had a little bomb with a face engraved on the slide.
