Depends on what you want it for. A little more info would help.

Start with what is comfortable and inexpensive... don't by a gun just for a name first...... that being said Ruger is one of the best built guns you can get... perhaps the p89 9mm or p95 9mm also.

I think a medium sized, medium caliber revolver such as a .38 special is pretty much considered the ideal beginners gun. I think that conventional wisdom is correct too.

The most important question is: What use do you plan to make of this firearm? Answer that, and we can help.

A Smith and Wesson M686 revolver. Uses both .38 Special and .357 Magnum ammunition. Learn to shoot with a revolver first, them move onto autos.

The first hand gun that I ever bought was a Rugar P89. Still own it and still love it.

A .357 mag revolver with a four inch barrel would be a good starting point. You can shoot .38s out of it as well for reduced recoil. S&W 686 or Ruger GP-100 are two models of this.

What are you going to be using the gun for?

Protection?

You gonna carry?

Not sure what you plan on using it for but there is nothing more useful than a .22.

If I could only have one gun it would probably be a .22 model 17 S&W revolver. A Ruger single six would be nice too, as would any of around a dozen good .22 auto plinker/targe types.

...I'm thinking of getting a firearm ...

Go to the local indoor range. Bring cash, Rent and fire every gun on your "A" list.

You'll find yours. :-)
