Agreed. But fair warning: unless you're a statistical oddity, it isn't going to be "a gun." If you're at all typical, it's gonna end up being "a whole buncha guns" because if you turn out to enjoy shooting (and you probably will), you're NOT going to be satisfied with just one. So I would suggest thinking in terms of your "first gun" instead.
My own personal feeling is if you've never owned a gun before, the best way to start out is with a revolver: they're REAL simple to operate and maintain (others will probably disagree, and will have good reasons for doing so). They're real user-friendly, which means you'll shoot a lot. And that's a good thing. Become comfortable with the wheelgun first, then move on to other things.
Just my two cents' worth...
