I had a friend ask me this for months. He is new to guns in general. The last advice I gave him was, "Buy from a reputable, USA if possible company. Buy a less expensive gun for your first one. You won't know what you're missing and you'll maybe love it."
He bought a Ruger SCR9 compact I think and seems happy so far.
