Foreget the handgun, get a double barrel shotgun.

Far more effective for home defense, and skeet is about the most fun shooting "game" I know of.

I agree. Get a shotgun and make sure you get a rear pistol grip for it. Makes it shorter and easier to manage in tight quarters.

In fact it should look like this when you're done.

I disagree emphatically. For someone just getting into shooting, a shotgun is the worst possible introduction due to its intimidating recoil.

It's much better to develop good skills with a minimum of flinch and fear, then move into larger firearms such as the double-barrel shotgun.

When I teach complete newcomers, I use the .22 pistol exclusively.
