9mm rounds are about $0.22 less if you use steel case ammo instead of brass or reloaded ammo.
It all depends on what you want the gun for.
If you need it for defense then its worth it to save up a bit.
If you just want to plink at targets, then don’t let gun snobs push you around.
Almost any gun you buy is going to be more accurate than your ability to shoot.
Reliability is less of a problem if a gun jams at the range than if it jams when someone breaks into your house.
.22 is fine round to get started with. 9mm guns don’t have to b expensive. There are plenty of reliable guns under $300 and some as low as $150. Your options expand if you are willing t buy used.
I find guns very boring to play with by myself.
And my friends will all make fun of me if I come half stepping with some weak ass peice. :o
But yeah, I have no concern about defense. I have a dog.
Main reason (only reason, really) I am around guns is a social thing.
Sure, I suppose if I got enjoyment out of plinking some cans out in the backwoods (which I am not sure how far I’d have to drive to not get into trouble for discharging a firearm) I could do it on the cheap. Of course, if that was all I was interested in, then nerf is cheaper.

If you’re only going to have one, I would pick dogs over guns. A gun isn’t going to wake you up and attack when an intruder breaks into your house.

BB guns might be better for that. You can shoot them practically anywhere if there aren’t people around.
