First let me say welcome to the forum and to the world of the shooting sports.
Secondly, I would encourage you to find a local source for a Handgun 101 type class. That way you can get some firsthand experience and advice on safety, maintenance, and shooting. Some places will include a class or class discounts with the purchase of a gun, so consider that when shopping.
Thirdly, overall the 9mm is a very good choice for an all around handgun. Also, a used GLOCK would probably be a good choice for a first gun.
