.22 starter pistol. Never fired a handgun and looking to start.

Ive fired a few rifles and shotguns but have never had any experience with handguns. Its something Id like to be introduced to and use as a stepping stone to move up to larger calibers.

What would gunnit suggest as a good(and affordable, Im a broke college student) 22 starter? And on the other side, are there ones I should steer clear of?
