Handgun range distance

Honestly you do not need to start off with 22. My father never owned a 22LR in his life. A 22LR was my 3rd gun. First was a 308 M1A, then a 45 acp 1911 and then a 22 Marlin.

I agree that having a .22lr is not a requirement as a starter for an adult or even older kids.

To the OP, start close, 5m or less and SLOWLY work your way out. Don't try to run before you can walk. Pratice a good grip, sight picture and trigger control and you will have no issues. If you try to rush it you will have poor results and become frustrated quickly.

Not a requirement but it helps in the economy. Easier to dump a bunch of 2 for a quarter shots than 2 for a dollar ones to get the shooting bug quieted down and get grip etc perfected. The OP did say he had a .22 so for him it is an easy fit.
 
Thank you so much for the offer I’m bed ridden since Sunday with a bloody inflamed testicle . I would not wish this on anyone . I’m on pain killers and antibiotics right now. Imagine one of your jewels in a vise . It sucks !
Maybe a rain check !

I agree that having a .22 for economy is great. I have a few and I enjoy them at the end of a range session when I haven't quite scratched that shooting itch but I believe that it is what should be used when training to shoot a pistol. YMMV.
