That's why I buy all of my cars (and most of my guns) used.
I scouted around for over a year before I found the manual transmission Subaru Outback with all the features that I wanted. Let some other toad take the hit on depreciation.

I often carry a revolver for back up. Its heavy yes and limited rounds but if i have to ditch the auto i want to know I have something I can get a shot off with. Revolvers are far from dead. If anything I think they are making a resurgence.

And here is the blunt truth: With the exception of some of the uglyness in Iraq in '03, your average guy or girl with an M-9 isn't going to use it. Our mortarman were issued M-9s. And when we needed them to run patrols instead of drop rounds, they turned in thier Berettas for M-16A2s and went out like normal infantryman. A good friend mine worked in our intel shop. She deployed with us but never left the wire. Her M-9 stayed shoved in her makeshift wall locker the entire nine months she was downrange. Not all that glorious is it? I used my M-9 exactly once, fired four rounds from it. One of which was an ROE mandated warning shot.
