I have never owned or fired a hand gun. Honestly, I just don't know what to look for when buying a hand gun. I don't know what is nice trigger pull, balance, smooth cylinder movement or any of those things as I have never had any experience with hand guns. I know what I like the looks of and I know I want to start off with something that doesn't have a lot of recoil. I am thinking .22, 17HMR, 22Mag something along those lines. I also have read that for an all-around good defensive hand gun that a .357 is hard to beat because of the stopping power to recoil ratio. Any tips that you all could pass along to a NEWBIE would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
