Expect 300-500 would be a more reasonable number.
If you are inexperienced, might I suggest a revolver, somewhere in the .38 to .357 range? A .38 is nice to learn on... no kick to speak of. Nice for learning the fundamentals. Now, that would be a pop-gun up in here. But you start where you start. I began, like most folks, on a .22 rifle, a long time ago.
And practice. Find someone who knows to teach you (hunters, cops are good for this), join a range, and run a butt-ton of lead out its nose. You've got a lot of catching up to do.
Where you want to be, IMHO, eventually, is a .40-.45 semi-auto, though a 357 magnum is no slouch. Under-sung these days, but that's a ferocious little rig... And it will shoot .38 special ammo, so a great starter. Stay in the .38 until you have habituated control, and your next step up is the same gun shooting .357 mag ammo. See where you want to go from there.
