The OP is worried about giving up a $1500 handgun sometime in the future. Anyone who has ever bought a new vehicle is happy to give up $10s of $Ks. Perspective.

This is an excellent point!

If depreciation is all one stands to lose; no big deal. If that 1500 dollar pistol overnight becomes a 300 dollar prohib; that sucks ass big time.
While I appreciate sarcasm, it seems everyone else is made of money and can afford to gamble. If anyone thinks they are going to send a message buy buying more, a lot of people bought or built ARs; boy did that have a great effect.
I'm not saying I won't buy used; but until there is more stability, I am not going to spend $1000.00-15,000.00 on a nice, new revolver that in a few months might be worth SFA. If it plays out the way it looks it might, I have already put too many eggs in my pending retirement hobby's basket.
And BTW, I do shoot a lot; likely more than anyone else at our club; and very little of it is .22.
Why would you only buy a gun thinking it is a savings bond?
Do you have a TV? Is it worth the same today as when you bought it? What will you do when it eventually breaks?
Buy the gun you want. Enjoy it. If eventually you cannot have it anymore, consider it broken and go buy a new TV.
How many TVs does a person need? I already have a tv in almost every room in the house. I probably have enough guns for every corner of every room.
