I'm glad you're interested in shooting. The sport needs young shooters. I have owned several pistols, my first being the Sig 229 in 9mm. I absolutely love this pistol. Accurate, reliable not a single problem. In my opinion it is probably one of the best pistols produced. That's not to say that their aren't any other good pistols out there. Glocks are accurate, reliable, fun to shoot and one hell of a self defense pistol. I just got a Springfield XD-.40. Another great gun. CZ makes a good pistol, Beretta 92 is a great 9mm. You're best bet would be to go to a gun shop and just ask questions and read books. Every gun is different ranging from recoil, grips, bore axis, and the type of action it uses. What works for one person may not work for another. like has been stated before, guns are addicting. Once you get that first one, you will immediately find yourself looking for another.
