Is there any advantage to purchasing a handgun before the new year?

I'm getting my first handgun as a combined Christmas and birthday present. I know Feinstein's nazi pile of shite is still in its infancy, but I was wondering if there is any real advantage/disadvantage to getting it either before or after the new year.
If it helps, I'm looking pretty hard at getting something akin to an S&W .40 compact.

40 was spawned from scrawny FBI agents that couldn't handle the 10mm
I jest (it is true though) I'm just excited about my 10

No advantage other than you will have a new gun sooner, rather than later.

I like your way of thinking.

shooting at the superdome! A time honored tradition.
Why wait is the question.

Get a 9mm, ammo is cheaper and with a good self defense load you'll get the sameness effect on target as a .40

Didn't realize this board got so much traffic. Thanks for the responses.
I have been a little too busy lately to do research and I don't have a lot of base knowledge. All I have to my name is a Savage. 22 single shot rifle basically made for kids to learn how to shoot. Haven't shot an automatic pistol in years although I used a .38 sw revovler a few yrs ago.
Just turned 21 and will want to have a good pistol on me while I still live in the lsu area. Wanted to make sure I have time to research before I rush into it.

Ideal self defense ammo penetrates, then stops.
FBI standard is 12" minimum penetration, 18" max.
This is one of the best explanations I've seen from the late Paul Gomez:
Paul Gomez 9mm vs .45

The FBI was shooting through walls with the 10mm, so they asked S&W to come up with a bullet that was a little less powerful.
I would definitely chose the 40 over the 9mm. The better performing 9mm will be just as expensive as the 40 ammo.
