I always start new students on a 22 cal, then progess to a 9mm, 40 then 45. Along the way they discover what they are comfortable with and enjoy the most. If you purchase a 1911 style 45, Glock or other popular model you can often get a 22 conversion kit for it which consists of a slide, barrel, spring and magizine. The kits allow you to shoot inexpensive training ammo utilizing your primary (fun gun, self defensive, etc) pistol with a consistent trigger pull, reset and sight alignment. Enjoy and stay safe. btw, you can never be too safe with a gun, always check an double check to be sure it is unloaded.
