Think of it as an investment. It is an investment in dollars because they will surely go up. And it is an investment in your future of shooting as you learn, gain experience, and get to be a better shot. One day, down the road you will have need of a piece like it and at that time you can reach into your arsenal and it will be there. When Buyer's remorse starts to get to you, say, "get thee behind me satan." As that is what buyers remorse really is. It is temptation to try and undue and act that you begin to feel guilty about but are secretly wishing you didn't.
There are those who say one cannot have too many firearms. I don't really believe that and people ask me if I am a collector. I say, "no, just an accumulator." But everyone I have has a spot and a use and I enjoy them all. Granted I may not shoot them all every day and some like my 1911A1 militarys are in fact investments for a rainy day. But others are working weapons which are ready to go when I need them.
You'll find one day that you will look back and be really glad you kept it. Don't make it one of those things you wish you still had. All of us have those items in our past.
