Re: Choosing my first pistol.
Striker fired guns have been very popular recently, since they're pretty easy to shoot. Also consider:
HK VP9
Sig P320
Walther PPQ (M1 or M2, depending on which magazine release you prefer)
Everyone will answer this question based on their preferences. I'm personally an HK fan, and started out with the VP9 as my first handgun. Their grip system is probably the most customizable of any handgun maker.
Again though, as you shoot more, you'll find you find out more about what you like. Personally, I ended up finding out that I prefer a hammer fired gun, and pretty much the only reason why I keep my VP9 is because it's my first handgun.

Re: Choosing my first pistol.
I say Glock 43 or Glock 19. I have a shield and love it, but if you get one, I'd buy the apex trigger kit for it. After you shoot other brands and models of firearms, you'll see why shield owners install apex kits.
Very important....if you want something for concealed carry, then get a good gun belt!!! Belts are what make or break the ease of carrying a gun. I like the bio-something belt from daltechforce.com"The Constitution is the guide which I will not abandon.” - George Washington

Re: Choosing my first pistol.
best way to choose a handgun is to handle a bunch and also be fit by someone who knows what they're doing...
