When I was a teenager, and looking forward to when I qualified for a pistol permit (in New York, you cannot even own a handgun without a permit), that Browning/Beretta pistol (but in .380, not .22) was what I was sure I was going to get as my first handgun. Never did get one, but have three Beretta 92 variants.
