A nickel a round will encourage you to practice more than when it's a quarter or more every time it goes 'bang'. Plus, the initial investment is lower and you might get a better feel for what fits you.
FWIW, I'm pretty new to gun ownership myself. But I've shot from time to time ever since I was about 12.

Completely agree.
I find my .22's are way more fun to shoot than my big guns.
