A .357 is not a beginner's gun.

Centerfire cartridges in general are not the best choices for beginners.
I have always disagreed with the idea of any centerfire cartridge as the load for a "first" gun.
If this really is a "first" gun, then the OP needs to practice and when he or she is done practicing, then he needs to practice some more. Even "cheap" CF ammo costs a lot compared to rimfire and there's a lot more going on when the gun goes bang. The opportunity to practice, to learn the basics, is much enhanced with a .22RF as opposed to anything heavier.
I know..... "show stopper", "not too small a caliber".
Learn to shoot first.
