Hi all...
I am relatively new to handguns and am looking to purchase my first. I have fired six different guns (with my grandpa and range rentals) at various times but by no means do I have an idea as to what I would like to purchase. My goal is to develop sound fundamentals. With that said, it seems as though a .22lr is absolutely the way to go. Beyond that, I am hopelessly lost. From what I've seen, people seem to have good things to say about the Ruger single six, ruger mkiii, s&w 617, browning buckmark, and so on. However, I don't know if I would be better off with a semi auto or revolver. If I went with a semi auto, would something like the buckmark be good for practicing or would I be better off with something like the sig mosquito (that looks more like a "normal" gun... if that makes sense)? I think if I went revolver (which I have never fired one), I think I would like to have SA capability in order to avoid a long/heavy trigger pull, if possible.
I suppose I am looking to hear any and all opinions. Whether it's just one of those "whatever suits you" things or if there are pros/cons to each, I'm all ears.
Thanks,
TJ
