This is like advising someone they need to start with a manual transmission before graduating to a more complicated automatic.
The automatic transmission is much more complicated to rebuild, and takes great driving precision to understand where its preferred / programmed shift points are and drive best to those pressure points.
Or, I don't know, you could start with the (semi) automatic, and after the idea of putting holes in paper at range is normal, and so is the idea of routine home maintenance, you could then graduate to the more subtle revolver, with the awkward handle, stupid-useless sights and odd cross-caliber rules, like how you could use .38 in your .357, but if you shoot .357 right after a speedloader's worth of .38 you'll need to take the gun to a vice and a hammer to get the spent brass out because the stock propellant for .38 leaves a sticky residue that glues the .357 into the chamber. (so, if you shoot .38, ''clean the cylinder'' before shooting .357; did you know that? No? Why are you skipping the starting step of shooting pistols and going straight to more complicated revolvers?)
IMO.
