A .22 is not necessary unless you are a 90 lb girl. The lowest caliber I would say to purchase would be a 9mm or .40.

A .22 is fun to just go and plink, but if you actually want to learn how to shoot, you must learn how to shoot properly. If you go and shoot just a .22 then pick up a .40 you will not be adjusted to the recoil. Practice with what you are wanting to shoot.

Another suggestion for you, is to talk with the law enforcement officers that you would like to be part of, and just ask them which guns they use on duty.

I know the two places that I have applied to, and I know which guns they use. University of TN police use the glock23, which is a compact .40. Metro nashville uses the glock 22, which is a full size .40.

If you still want a .22 then go for it, but as I said, practice with what you plan on using.
