Well, I'm picking up my LTC-A(ALP) later on today. Being one to waste no time, I was thinking of heading over to 4 Seasons next weekend to burn some cash on my very first pistol purchases. Being a newbie handgun shooter, I'm looking for a little input. Looking at their website, I was thinking of going with a Walther P22 and a S&W Sigma, probably in 9mm but possibly in .40, both used. My reasoning is that I'd like to have a rim fire as was suggested on here for learning, and I want to keep the budget under $600 for both guns. I'll probably buy another centerfire when I've shot enough to gain experience and learn what i want in a keeper/carry arm, but the Sigma looks like a good place to start.
