re: Hang gun question, again

wording was bad, I have a .22 pistol and that is it for hand gun wise. I own shotguns, rifles and had a 4WD once, but never a semi auto pistol so I am a virgin. So its a go for a first hand gun that might get shot 1/2 times a year. the value is something around $529, I have that cash value at the gun store I can easily add a few hundred and upgrade for sure. Is there a sure fire winner gotta have no questions asked handgun that I should be looking for. I will have this thing for ever.
