RE: Buying my first handgun
 

Here' s another vote for the .22. You' ll end up getting one anyways - why not get it first.

It may not have the shock appeal of a larger round - but you' ll shoot a lot more, more accurately and cheaper.

Starting with a .22 will make you a better shooter.

Browning makes a great .22lr pistol.
The Browning " Buckmark" .
Several configuration and barrel choices from plinking to serious target models.

RE: Buying my first handgun
 

if going for a 22 pistol ill second the vote for the browning buckmark. by no means is it a target pistol but its a great plinker. though mine doent like HPs but thats ok.
