Find whatever gun you want that's within your budget and just buy it. Don't buy an NPC gun everyone recommends like a Glock 19 or Ruger 10/22 unless that's what you really want. The reason I say this is because if you buy a gun that doesn't actually interest you, you won't feel motivated to practice with it. If you decide you actually want to turn shooting and gun collecting into a hobby, then you can start picking up all the "obligatory" guns recommended by internet commandos.
>t. bought 1911 as my first gun, still prefer it over 9mm plastic crap
