Unless you bought one that you could not shoot before purchasing. Three come to mind:
Ruger LC9. Wife held one and wanted it. None available to rent or borrow. Bought it, shot it, she hated it, sold it. No regrets.
Glock 17L. Went Glockin' crazy back when Gen3s were scarce and rumors were rampant. Shot it enough to know I preferred a G34. Sold it for a profit and bought .22s for my grandkids to shoot in my backyard.
Glock 41. My last SSE gun, and only Gen4. Too big to CCW, not as enjoyable as any of my 1911s (or my G30 or G21), so it went same as the 17L.
In all three cases, the buyers were happy to get them and I was happy to sell them to someone who wanted them. They were tools that didn't fit me as well as other I already had. I converted those investments into guns that will be well used and passed down when I'm gone.
