I bought my first gun a few months ago, and it was a .357 that I mostly shoot .38 out of. I quickly bought my second, third, and fourth guns. Once you get your gun and head to the range, I predict that you will start thinking about buying a .22 to practice with in the not too distant future. The ammo is a lot cheaper.

In the mean time, enjoy your .38. It should prove a good first gun.

It's like the man told me -- Guns are like shoes. You wouldn't wear your sandals to the opera. You wouldn't wear your dress shoes hiking or running. Thankfully, my wife understands that analogy and hasn't given me much grief for accumulating four guns in under 3 months.
