Again, no offense to anyone, but the Sig.357 is just not a good choice for a new handgunner. Anything with that much recoil and muzzle blast tends to create a flinch, which is then a real pain in the ass for the shooter to get rid of, often requiring professional instruction.

To truly master the fundamentals of a sidearm a .22 simply cannot be beat, and the same is true for rifles.

For anyone that already has a good working grasp of hundgunning fundamentals, a .357 Sig is an excellent choice.

Pocket pistols are also a typically poor choice for a first sidearm too.
