First pistol, handgun, should be in 22 Long Rifle. I am a firm believer in this. I know that that that simply increases the cost of gun ownership with you starting small and having to go and buy bigger but the 22LR has too many advantages to pass up. The guns generally cost less, the ammo cost less and with lower cost per shot means you shoot more and gain confidence. The guns recoil less which makes them more enjoyable to shoot which means you shoot more, remember that less expensive ammo, and get to be a better shot. They are not as loud which gives you the same benefits as having lower recoil.
I've been asked: "How many guns do you need to have?" My answer remains the same: "One more."
