What Handgun Accessories Depreciate The Most?

Holsters
Everyone has a drawer full of them. Nobody needs the old crotch sweat infused leather IWB included with your old news blaster.

I don't have a drawer full.

If the holster isn't worth spit, I refuse to inflict it on anybody else. In my youth, the first holster I bought was a nylon Mike's POS. When I learned how crappy that was, I tossed it.

If it's a decent holster that I've simply moved on from for one reason or another, I'll re-home it. I generally just adopt it out to someone else who has a better need for it than me. Like the wrong size holster I bought for my full size Colt 1991A1 many years ago, where my barrel/slide extended past the end of the holster. Worked very well, unless I went to the range and shot my carry piece. Hot steel on the side of my *ss wasn't something I appreciated much. I didn't see myself buying another 1911 pistol sized to fit an $80 leather holster, so I gave it to someone else after buying a Milt Sparks replacement that fit.

Most people buy garbage holsters anyway.

I hear ones made from Long Pork skins are the best.

Mine are stitched together with gut thread made from only the youngest and cutest looking Black-Footed Ferrets which are only harvested from their still living bodies in front of the watchful eyes of PETA supporters using the dullest of dirty kitchen knives from the bottom of my mother-in-law's kitchen drawers.

Rub 'em a bit first and you can fit a full size 1911 in them.

That's why I think most of us have a drawer full. It's like the drawer full of disappointments where we hide the stuff that suckered us out of hard earned money, and rather than advertize the mistake by putting it up for sale we just hide it away and act like it didn't happen. It's like Uncle Mike's (and similar) built a business on our collective shame.
