Would any of you recommend a Ruger Mark III as a first handgun purchase?

I am thinking this might be the first one I buy to go to the range and learn, then get my (first) dream gun, Sig P226.
Or should I just spend the extra money now and get the Sig?

Or I also am considering getting an SR9.

If you want a gun that will double as a suitable gun for home defense, get the Sig. I would get it first.
EDIT: You know I'm a big fan of the SR9 as well. Can't go wrong with it.
If you're in a real bind, get the Ruger 9E. Identical mechanics to the SR9 but costs them less money to manufacture.

Sure.
They're easy to shoot well and cheap. Only downside is they're tricky to break down to clean, but you won't be doing that a whole lot anyway.
Getting the sig wouldn't be a bad move if you're already familiar with guns and know that's what you want.

Save up and get the gun you want
ETA- said it before here, but my p226 is my favorite gun to shoot at the range. Good choice

Why not get a Sig Mosquito?
Same controls as the 226

It's never a bad time to buy a Ruger Mark series.
You'll then buy the SR9 hoping to curb the Sig desire.
You'll then buy the Sig.
It won't stop with the Sig either.
Good luck with the new addiction.

Ruger 22/45 22LR Exclusive Rimfire Pistol with Stainless Bull Barrel. Sportmans Outdoor $270.00

KC,
I think it'd be FINE to buy a Ruger Mk III for your first handgun, especially since that's what I did at 17 y/o. Mine looks just like the one in Shexter's post except mine is blue. Even though 22LR ammo is hard to find, the 22LR is unrivalled for plinking/learning basic gun handling and shooting skills. Get a Mk III, shoot it a LOT and later when you're ready to step up to a bigger caliber you'll have already developed good fun handling skills.
The Ruger priced at $270 would be a GREAT buy for you.
