Stepping into the world of owning a pistol......advice?

Don't forget to consider the Grand Power K-100. It's earned excellent reviews from several of the experienced shooters here and is widely regarded as being a $1,000 class pistol available new for $595.

Slavex is right: use the boards to find out what works reliably and is well built, then go with what you think will fit you best. If you haven't already done so, spend an evening or two at the range you intend to join even though you don't own any handguns and watch/listen to the other folks there. An added benefit is many will let you give their gun(s) a try after chatting with you awhile. This can be a big advantage when choosing something that fits.

Last but not least: pick a dealer/gunsmith who will (within reason) allow you to reconsider and choose a different pistol. This can save a lot of heartache if that thousand dollar gun (after taxes, etc.) just doesn't do it for you.

Hope this helps,

Maybe off topic but is a 9mm good for target shooting? I was told to get a or any 40cal handgun for that.
 
someone is trying to unload their .40 on you. I own two of them, and don't shoot either anymore. 9mm is more than satisfactory for target shooting, and it's cheaper. Not a lot, but some. .40 really is an answer to a question that didn't need to be asked.
As for the original question, Peter provided a bunch of good points, and as luck would have it (well not luck, good business practices) they are a good company to deal with.
