A pocket gun is a terrible first gun. They are more difficult to shoot even for a experienced shooter. Start with a mid size gun like a Glock 19 or Smith and Wesson 686. The revolver you could shoot mild 38spl and then work up to 357 mag. A revolver is a great first gun. You can find a nice used Ruger gp101 with a 4" barrel for a good price. Smith and Wessons will be more money. Rossi makes a nice one pretty cheap. I bought one for my Dad and it was suprisingly accurate. Its was a great deal and I would buy another one for a glove box gun.
