Money spent educating yourself up front is money saved in the long run.
(FWIW - I recommended the 9mm because ammo's cheap and it's easy to learn with. There is a selection of quality bullets [search button] that make it an effective defensive round too.)

Good advice; however, I see the poster iives in
NJ, so he can not use HP ammo. This might be a good reason to invest in a .45. The SIG 220 would fill the bill nicely.
