I started shooting a few years back with my XD9. I have recently purchased a Sig mosquito .22lr and a Kahr CW40. I really wish I would have started out shooting the .22 because I can go to the range and shoot for hours and spend very little on ammo. I shoot CCI mini-mags which are about $7 per 100 rounds and it is a blast. Now that I am more comfortable with my shooting skill moving up in calibers is easy.

Nice response.
Well played.
I'll need to remember that.
"It's my plasma, I can sell it if I want to!"...?
Seriously, it really has to be an "us" thing to at least some degree. Dunno what you're after, but I would think you might be able to get closer to $400 than 600, with some shopping. (If you get agreement on $600, and come in at $500 or less, you'll win BIG points
)
i know your asking about the 9 or 40,both will serve you well.fit and comfort for extended practice is the main thing. since your new to firearms,i'm surprised that nobody suggested a revolver to get your feet wet.its the most simple and safest way to go shooting.
Like others have said gets what's comfortable to you. Some like glocks, and some don't. Personally I like the Smith and Wesson M&P better. Shoot as many different guns and hold as many different ones possible before you make your decision.
I never understood this mentality. Yes the .40 packs more bang, but 9mm is a more than adequate self defense round.
