I bet the "wish I knew sooner" thing you'll find is the trigger. Trigger control is a key skill, one I'm still talking to myself about every range session. But you won't know what you like until you do some shooting with different pistols. For example, my first autoloader was a Glock. Fairly constant, surprised when it goes off, like it. Then I got one of the S&W M&Ps. It has a different "feel" that I disliked at first. But not for long. Now I shoot better with the Smith.
There are dozens of polymer striker-fired handguns out there. I'd say don't start with a small carry pistol. Buy from a maker with a good (and long earned) reputation, even if it costs more. And get shooting. Your first pistol will probably not be your last. And I can't argue with the S&W M&P as your first.
