My sentiments exactly!
Every new shooter I have taken to the range has been started off with a .22 of their choice (revolver, semi-auto, or rifle). Once they got the basic down then it was on to a centerfire handgun, typically a full size 9mm. or else a S&W K frame .38 Special. For some it took several range visits; others did it all in their first visit.
I love me some rimfires. Every time I i shoot I try to warm up with one to solidify my shooting process before breaking out a centerfire.
In a perfect world, I seriously believe a .22 LR should be the first handgun every new gun owner buys to learn the fundamentals. (I understand there may be financial limits or gun-purchase regulations that may not make that possible.)
Once the basics are down pat, then I think it’s time to graduate and buy a centerfire auto or revolver.
