So I'm turning 21 in a month

I don't like the idea of YOUR gun store at some other person's house. Possibly, asking for TROUBLE. That being said 9mm is a good affordable round that can be used on more than targets if needed.
 
I agree with the idea of a 22 LR as well. I bought my first handgun when I was 21 and still in college so money was important to me. I paid $90 for a brand new H&R 676 revolver. It also had a 22 WMRF cylinder, but I couldn't afford nearly as many 22 mag shells. I figure I put about 5000 rounds through that revolver over the next year or so. The act of raising the gun, acquiring the sight picture, squeezing the trigger again and again and again is applicable to any handgun you will ever shoot, so the more you do it the better you get, so it makes sense to make it as economical as possible. And you can't totally discount the 22 as a defensive round. Not the first choice, but it can still be effective.
 
Thanks for the input guys, I'm defiantly going to get a .22. I just need to decide on a revolver or a semi auto.


As for storing the guns at my friends house, I don't see a problem. My guns (I own a rifle and a shotgun) are locked individually with cable locks, stored in a locked hard case and that case is in his gun safe. No one (including me) can get to or use my guns without him and I or some serious effort. They're proabaly safer now then they will be after I move out and can take then out of his house.
 
just get a .22 that matches your CCW preference... If you want an auto get an auto... if you wanna carry a wheel gun... get a revolver...
 
start with a .22 then go from there

Exactly that.

Ruger Mark 1/II/III/or 22/45 in an abundance of configurations. Browning Buckmark, Beretta Neos, a couple different S&Ws. Various Taurus or S&W double action revolvers. Ruger Single Six.
 
Bingo on the 22 great starting point, but be ready for one of the most expensive hobbie addiction to come.;)
