Not a gun recommendation but a shopping recommendation.
Buy something used and inexpensive and simple in a .22. After you practice with it for six months you will have a much better idea of what you like and don't like about it and you can go shopping with a better idea of what to look for.
And, since the first gun was very inexpensive in the first place it should be easy to resell.
To put it differently, don't go shopping for your second gun first.
