Indoor ranges are usually limited to low power lead (not jacketed) bullets, the reasons being protection of the steel backstop and less noise, so it would be better to learn the rules of the range before investing in a gun.

Certainly the latter recommendation is correct, but the few indoor ranges I have shot on did not have a naked lead requirement. No steel cores or steel jackets allowed, but copper jacketed/plated lead core bullets are acceptable.
As for gun selection, a 1911 or maybe Beretta would be best. They are regularly shot in competition and their management is well understood.
Look for a bullseye gunsmith who will accurize your pistol without a lot of cosmetics. You need a well fitted barrel, good trigger, and that Ultra Dot.
French fried borders, hand checkering, and royal blue will not improve anything but the shop's profit margin.
