Certainly there are many good reasons a beginning shooter should (if they have the resources) start with a Beretta or Browning.

Facts are, people don't stay with it.

Both are easily disposed of.

After that, B1 and B2 don't shoot the same. Different dynamics, different grips.

Go to a club, get some lesons, try them both.

Probably one with an adjustable comb and tubes would be optimal.

If the shooter stays involved, the upgrade path is easiest.

I like the Blazer F16, but hate their stocks, as example.

Out there doing it best I can.
