i shot a .22 pistol and rifle yesterday with my father and brother and law and Jen. it was my first time shooting, i loved it!

you need to shoot bigger a 22 is like a bb gun...

Seriously. .22 is tiiiiiiiiny.

If you learn how to shoot with a .22 you will be able to shoot anything bigger easily. If you start out with a big bang caliber, it is very expensive to get enough practice (unless you reload your own) and generally will introduce you to "Flinch" which plays hell with accuracy. Shoot the livin' holy crap out of a .22 till you get real good. after that, a .357 revolver is a good choice because you can practice with .38 specials for lower recoil then move up to the magnums in the same gun for fire and bang.
a .45 auto is big and slow, so it has more of a push recoil instead of the "Snap" you really feel with the high velocity rounds.Shooting is fun!
