First gun?

Take an introductory course. They often allow you to shoot both types of handgun.

Get yourself a S&W 686 (.357 Mag revolver) or a Springfield Armory XD (9mm auto) and train until you're comfortable.

...

IMHO: Unless you've got the stupid one-man-army syndrome many young white guys do... a vanilla 6-shot, 4" barrel .357 Mag revolver will be your one-gun choice for target shooting, self-defense and even deer hunting. It doesn't do especially well at any of the three, but unlike a more specialized gun (target plinker, subcompact pocket blaster, or hunting cannon) it'll do all three successfully.

If you'd like to learn about firearms in general... check out the URL "World.Guns.Ru"
