Practice makes perfect,,,
And practicing has an economic factor to it.
Can you afford to practice very often at $12.95 per 50 rounds?

...when I decide to buy a bigger caliber will I just be learning all over again?

In a way yes,,,
But in another way no.
What I mean is with a .22 you learn all the fundamentals,,,
Those fundamentals don't change much when you step up to a centerfire gun.
You can get so much more trigger time with ammo at $25.00 per 500 rounds
than you can with ammo that costs upwards of $129.50 per 500 rounds.
Trigger time is what is most important,,,
One can dry fire and do other shooting exercises,,,
But the one thing that can't be replaced is actual shooting & range time.
Once you learn the fundamentals with a .22,,,
Most of that transfers directly to a centerfire pistol.
Yes, you will definitely need to learn to handle the greater recoil,,,
But the fundamentals of shooting a handgun remain the same.
I consider myself to be a reasonably good shot,,,
I'm no Annie Oakley mind you but I do okay at the range,,,
I attribute that to thousands upon thousands of rounds sent downrange.
I simply couldn't have afforded that without .22 LR ammunition,,,
But if you can afford lots of centerfire ammunition,,,
You may decide to bypass the .22 pistol.
Just my not-so humble opinion.
