First handgun question 9mm vs 22 lr

Thank you all again for your comments and suggestions. It's really helping my knowledge and understanding on what to do. I agree that I will buy both calibers someday for sure. Absolutely ! For now and for starters 22 lr makes sense. I want to shoot the best I can and not hinder my practicing. Work my way up. I imagine it won't be my last pistol. Not even close.
1+ if gun purchasing is turning into your addiction. Lmao.

1x more vote for 9mm.
although I have both, I use them for different shooting purposes. I found semi-auto .22 shooting not very similar feeling to shooting 9mm and 45acp, so it seemed that it was not much of a training tool at all! (other then the basics of pointing a gun and pulling the trigger, but you can do that for free at home, its called "dry-fire" or get a pellet gun) I sold it after 2 range sessions but have since picked up a 'longer range' single shot .22 bullseye target gun which is a pretty fun challenge at more then 2x or 3x the distance and a completely different style of shooting.

In the bicycle world it's a well known fact that the PROPER number of bikes is N+1. "N" being the number of bikes you have now. I've tried my best to maintain that rule with my gun buying. And after a while you actually get to LIKE Kraft Dinner.... 
Handguns are like potato chips or popcorn. It's pretty much impossible for any proper gunny to have just one. So you'll end up with your rimfire, 9mm, .38/.357 revolver and 45 all in good time.
