If time permits.. try out different guns.
Go shooting with a group of friends, or just hang out at a local range. Most folks will let you try out their pistol when you ask. Shoot everything you can get your hands on.

Like Jerrwhy & J33psr0ck said.. pistols are a Very personal choice.
How they look on paper/specs is one thing.. how they Shoot/Feel in your hands is another.

G'luck & let us know what you get <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
