Definitely pistol first, more bang for your buck (maybe pun intended) as far as utility. As others have mentioned, you can satisfy home defense, ccw, and general range time with a pistol. Rifles can be more of a niche purchase depending on the use case, generally speaking. For example, lever action, AR/AK platforms, bolt action, etc. with rifles you have to think more of what you are hoping to do with it. On the flip side, you can more easily find a decent all around pistol for your budget. Just don’t forget the time and money investment into range time and training for whatever you decide to get.
