If I were only going to have one pistol, it would be either my G17 or 19. Reliable, cheap(ish), parts are cheap and everywhere. It's the iPod of guns. Sure, there are better options out there, but there's a reason it's the go-to. If you're going to end up with a collection, get whatever you want since firearms breed like rabbits apparently. Or, you could scrap the whole 9mm idea and go buy yourself a 1911. Every man should own at least one .45.

As far as the .22lr rifle, go get a used Ruger 10/22 and build it up. They're dirt cheap and easy to work on. I found my old one in my parents house years back. Literally kept nothing but the receiver. New stock, barrel, trigger, bolt, etc. Now the only problem is finding decent .22 ammo since the manufacturers gave up on it to make calibers people were stockpiling.
