If you have no experience what so ever, that should be your very first thought when choosing a firearm. Those who are new to firearms should never buy a pistol, they don't know how to use it. And when you are new, your focus should be simplicity and with that you will grow into other firearms. A revolver should be your first firearm, simplicity at it's finest! You don't have to worry about stove pipes, jams, etc.....
I would recommend to you the Ruger LCR, terrific piece and very concealable.
Not to mention Made in the USA!

HUH?
Where did you come up with that (in blue)? Simply not true.
That is like saying that someone who has never driven before should ONLY purchase a stick shift and never an automatic because they do not know how to use an automatic transmition.
People are able to seek out information and instruction. My first handgun, with no prior handgun experience, was a Glock-23 (.40 cal). I rented a vairety before I purchased and sought out basic instruction at the range prior to making my purchase just to know the gun fit and I could handle it.

Of course it is! If someone has no experience with firearms it is absolutely stupid to place them in a pistol, where to much can go wrong. Perhaps you don't feel that way or "believe" it does not make it wrong. The most experiened people in the industry will tell you just what I have stated.

I'm pretty well aquainted with several of whom I consider the top firearms instructors in this country. Never, ever have I heard such words cross their lips. And yes, I am a certified instructor via NRA and at least one state's AG's office for CCW.

Well, maybe I'm crossing words...
But a pistol and a revolver are one in the same....
Or is it pistol and firearm.....in your own words....

Either way...not the best advice I ever heard/read...
A revolver is a revolver, a pistol is a semi. Most people can make the connection and distinction.
May not be the best advice you've heard but I have been trained and continue to be so by the best in the industry so I will stick with it!
Obviously you and I have been trained/continue to train in different circles. I'd like to know what highly reputable instructor is using the word never in conjunction semi-auto pistols with handgun training and one's first firearm. If you are not comfortable posting it here in the forum, please DM me. Thank you.
