Smile Bad Trades

Well..My story isn't so bad after reading some of the ones posted.......I picked up a Smith & Wesson 36-1 with the 3" Heavy Barrel from my neighbor....who owed me $150.00.....really nice pistol....then I got the urge for an Interarms Mauser with 6" barrel.....traded the S&W Plus bunch of Cash to Gun Shop up in East Tennessee where we go camping....half the way home.......DOH.!!..wished i hadn't traded the S&W....pondered and stewed about it for the past year....then finally got to checking on Gunsamerica....found one advertised by a Dealer out in Nevada.....called him up...sent the money...he mailed it the next day to my FFL dealer here......it came in MINT....unfired..so after all the wear and tear on my brain.....I wound up with a much better S&W 36-1....and this one aint going no where..!!!!...in fact...I use it as my Carry pistol and last Sunday...went on a 3 mile hike in the Mountains....and its also my hiking pistol....(mean little sucker with snake loads)......the best part....it looks EXACTLY like the one I traded.....my wife walked by as I was cleaning it the other nite...."is that the pistol you got off our neighbor.?"......I just quietly grunted and kept cleaning........whew......slipped that one by....
