    Welcome from Washington DC. I would suggest going straight to a 9mm if you want a semi- If your first firearm a Glock, SW or Taurus would be my recommendation .

    Like someone else said, you can go to a range such as Maryland Small Arms and Rifle Range [where I shoot] and rent several handguns and rifles, and figure out what fits your usage best.

    Not to sound like uncle joe, but Depending on the urgency and timing, you may want to consider a shotgun over a handgun for home defense in MD. Faster to buy, just as effective.

    Thanks to everyone! I've not yet decided upon what my first gun will be. I want to try several different models before I decide. Also considering a few 9mm models, as well. Where do you guys shoot? I'm not keen on going to Gilbert's, even though it's closest to me. Would love to find a nice indoor and outdoor range with good people to have some fun!
