Go to your local range and rent two or three handguns for at least an hour. Do this several times and get as much experience with both types and as many calibers as you can. I'd recommend 9MM, .38 spl, .357 mag, .40 and .45 to strive for. Do this several times until you begin to have a favorite.

I really do like the suggestions to get a .22 lr to learn basics of technique and marksmanship before you graduate to a self defense caliber.
