FAIL. You are argung the difference between one minute of explanation and two minutes of explanation. As I stated before, shooting and reloading a revolver proficiently requires more training.

There is a lot more going on with a semi than a revolver. More controls, more things to do right, more that can go wrong.
A revolver is simple to explain.
Trigger control and shooting accurately is a separate issue, and a good revolver will not cause any more issue than a DAO or DA/SA semi.
To you, me, and others here, the difference is not difficult. But to others unfamiliar, it is a huge difference.
When my fiance was first learning, how to load and use a revolver was easy... Semis took her longer to figure out.

In the not so long ago, a beginner would be advised to start with a .22 pistol and fire enough cheap ammo to become proficient in the basics before going to a more powerful handgun.

Yeah... 22 would be my first choice for a beginner, but with ammo as it is....
Why a good sized 9mm or 38 are good alternatives. Fairly mild recoil wise, and ammo is easier to get.
