Spend the $400 on some really good instruction. Basic safety, carry course, and some sort of tactical training as well.

Then stick back enough money to afford a GOOD quality gun, not what $400 will buy you. Start at $500 (pickin's are slim) and keep a decent average at about $800... then you'll be getting quality. In the $600 range you begin seeing a ton of great options (Sig, XD, Glock, higher end CZ's, and more).
