Odd you mention this.

I just came back from a shooting range. It was my first time shooting ever. I started off with a .22 handgun. Out of my first 5 shots, 3 were in the middle of the target from 15 feet away. It was VERY easy to shoot... however, I heard they tend to be not so reliable when you need it. And to be honest, we had three rounds that were duds.

Then I shot a Glock 7. This was a fun gun, but a lot harder than the .22 handgun. This was because it uses 9mm. I dont know why, but I was all over with it. I eventually found what was causing it and fixed it but a 9mm is nothing to shake a stick at.

I suggest you do some research and then go to a firing range that has an assortment of handguns that you can rent. Start small and work your way up. Try different handguns and see what you feel comfortable with.
