My First Handgun Experience

I was finally able to shoot a handgun for the first time this past Sunday. I rented a S&W 617 .22lr and shot 100 rounds. I had a really great time. I did most of the shooting at the 7 yard range, but the last dozen or shots I tried shooting at 25 yards.
I was great to finally shoot and to really experience SA and DA trigger pulls. I've read many posts about the good trigger on S&W revolvers, and the triigger was very good on my rental gun. I'm going to spend alot of time at the range now.

Congrats Chris...

The next step is to find yourself a good coach/instructor or plain 'ol buddy to go to the range with.

You might look into taking an NRA or Concealed carry course, even if you are not planning on getting a permit,just to meet some shooters and get the basics inyour head from the beginning.
