Been there, done that.
Save yourself a LOT of money, don't buy a .45 as your first handgun. I bought a 1911 as my first. I in no way regret the purchase, just bought a 9mm a little afterwards cause I couldn't afford to shoot it all the time.
While I don't own one, brand new CZ75's go for not much more than $400 new, and owning a CZ rifle, I have no reason to doubt that they are an excellent deal. It will probably be my next handgun purchase. The SIG 225 that has been mentioned is a nice gun for the price, buddy got his on sale at Gander Mountain for $325. Very good shooting gun. Other than that, used Glock/XD should fit in the price range as well, if you care much for polymer guns.
