Consider taking a basic firearms class at a range nearby. They provide everything to make you comfortable at shooting. At that point you know more about what works for you. Semi(automatic) or revolver, longer barrels, sights, and safety. "Everyone" I know that has taken a class came away very happy they did it.

My wife just started shooting in the last year. She loves her Beretta NEOS 22. (I like it too) It has been a very reliable gun, but is too big to conceal. She decided it's time to step it up and just ordered a 9mm SW M&P Pro Series.

I am sure there are a bunch of others that are excellent, but these are models I have personally shot and maintained.

Ruger Mark III shoots nice but is a pain to take apart and clean.
Beratta Neos
SW makes a 22 version M&P similar to their 9mm.

I'm guessing yes because of the cost of ammo. But still got to ask since I'm considering buying a second firearm soon.
Personally I would never buy a pistol in .22 LR. They are just to unreliable.

If you want a pistol in the .22 format, the only gun I would look at is the Keltec PMR-30. It shoost .22 WMR and is the only gun I've came across that is truly reliable.

I feel that 22 are good if you are first learning how to handle a gun. They do not have the recoil as bigger guns. I prefer the 9mm. I own a Beretta 92G & PX4, along with two S.W.38 Detective Specials plus a S&W Mdl. 67. Owning guns requires a lot of pracatice, training and safety.

I like a Glock. Its simple design is very reliable.
It is the one I bring to the door.

They never see it. They are too focused on the guard dogs.

Cool little gun but check out the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380 before you make your decision
