In my opinion a good quality 22lr gun like the ruger MK IV, the 22/45 or the browning buckmarks are great guns that they can learn to shoot with and continue to love and enjoy. They are accurate and reliable. they are also inexpensive to shoot

Hi Cody and welcome. This will depend on what the firearm will ultimately be used for, their current skillset for firearms handling and safety. If a truly green beginner, a 22LR would be a good starting point for low noise and recoil to develop solid shooting skills and gun handling without the flinch caused by too large a caliber if inexperienced. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/678/beretta+m9+22lr+semi+auto+pistol ----------------------------------------------- Once familiar with proper handling and skill development, then move on to a higher caliber in the same platform for familiarity like 9mm: https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/23504/beretta+m9+commercial+9mm+pistol ----------------------------- Cheers and stay safe!
