My advice is to try to not be so thrifty. This gun you were gifted has some serious issues. If I was you I'd save up a bit and get a newer more reliable, less issued .22 revolver to learn with and practice practice practice. There are some things you can go cheap on. A firearm is probably not one of them. Having an accident with a used garden hose may get you wet. An accident with an unreliable firearm will get you wet in another way...
