First, welcome and good to hear your interest in firearms.

My recommendations for a first pistol is a Ruger P95 semiauto (9mm) or a Ruger 357 Revolver. The P95 is around $300 brand new, so could be a bit less used if you can find one. I'm not sure on the price of the 357Revolver, but you can look online at Buds to see the best prices.

I would also recommend a good 22lr rifle like a Ruger 10/22. Should be less than $300 and ammo is very cheap.

If you are looking for an affordable safe, you can get a basic one for $130 5-foot standing model at Bass Pro shop. If you just want a pistol safe, there are plenty of choices under $100.

Good luck and have fun with your journey!
