raymond1 Hi, I am looking to buy my first handgun. I am not that experienced with shooting but am looking to start because I am going into law enforcement.
You have hit the nail squarely on the head with your thinking about the 22. Crawl before you walk, walk before you run. Get a good 22 now and you will still be shooting it 40 years from now no matter how good you get with larger more powerful center fires. Those who would have you jump ahead straight to centerfire guns are wrong in their reasoning, what may work for them is not a good practice for most of us and never a good practice for a new shooter who wants to learn correctly.
