Okay, few people have any earthly idea what they want when they contemplate beginning the art of shooting.

A .22 was one (IMO, arguably the best; see arguments above) way to begin exploring what I wanted. As it turned out I did, indeed, want a .22 but learned that I eventually wanted other things as well.

FWIW, the .22 (which was the first firearm I ever bought) was not the first firearm I ever owned/carried. That one was a nickel-plated .25 auto (a gift) which, believe me, I would never recommend as anyone's first experience with a firearm.

Best,

Will
