Depends on what you want as far as the pistol. Aluminum/steel/polymer frame? Just range or home defense may as well get a full sized. CCW? Compact. What fits your hand the best? Recommended guns I have experience with in no particular order?
1. CZ-75.
2. Sig 2022 9mm. A real sleeper.
3. XD or Glock whicever floats your boat.
4. Stoeger 9mm.
5. S&W M&P.
Lots more. Define what you want it for. Find the one that fits your hand best. Rent it at a range if possible and shoot it. Should lead to a good purchase experience.
