I don't think the previous posters were talking about recommending BUYING a .22 first, but rather getting introduced to shooting via one.

I read the OP differently because of his reference to having a budget of $500, but if your reading is correct I absolutely agree that borrowing or renting a .22LR for early learning is a great idea. I just wouldn't make it a recommendation for a first purchase for an adult interested in owning a firearm for defensive purposes.
