I've had all three and no longer own any of them. To be honest, comparing a light poly 9mm, aluminum framed .380 blowback and a .38spl snub revolver is hard to narrow down. You don't know what you want so I would suggest finding a place that rents guns and see what you like. Since this is your first gun, I'd suggest something fullsize in 9mm or 45acp...maybe even a .22lr to learn proper handgun skills like grip and trigger pull.
