We've discussed pistols we hated, and pistols we let get away.
So, which handguns did you almost get, didn't, and learned later that you dodged a bomb?
For me, it was a Springfield Mil-Spec 1911 .45acp.
Cool gun, but I was not in a good financial spot for that rabbit hole.
(Edit to add) I also was thiiiis close to buying a Colt 1911 in .38 Super a couple of years back, but got a 92 Compact instead.

I started to get more serious about finding the right pistol for me earlier this year. I would have considered the Sig P320 until reading This forum.

Beretta Nano. I'm a huge, huge Beretta fan so it was almost automatic that they'd be my new carry gun. Turns out to be...not great.
Also a Century C39V2. A post here educated me to either get an Atlantic-inspected WASR-10 or just save up for the Arsenal I actually want.

This thread starts and stops with the P320 line for me. I mean, I’m sure there have been others over the decades, but I seriously considered diving into those berween 1-2 years ago.
There was a time I just knew I had to have an XD-40.
Whew.

This. A week before the drop safety stuff broke, I had two fde p320c's in my cart at Quantico tactical. I came super close to pulling the trigger but decided to stick with glocks for the time being from a logistical standpoint. Turns out that was a good choice. Ended up with a pair of gen 5 g19's instead and am very happy with that decision.Originally Posted by Sidheshooter

VP9
I was in my LGS pondering between a VP9 and a P320.
The P320 felt very nice, and I thought the whole concept was very innovative. However I just felt it was a little early yet, so I opted for the VP9.
I wanted an XD45 in a bad way at one point. Later wanted an XD9.
At one point I was seriously looking at a Sigma. The Taurus I got instead worked well enough at the time.
