Training and practice matter more. Get an ammo type you can afford and remember follow up shots, and shot locations, trump caliber or anything else people argue about.
My first firearm was a Ruger SR40c, which I love dearly. Heavy trigger pull, so practicing squeezing is a must, but overall great. My one complaint is they make it in 9mm and I should have chosen that to make range time cheaper.
Personally, I would get a list together, go to gun stores and ranges and try stuff out. See how they feel in your hand, see if you like shooting this type vs that type.
.22lr is great for plinking and practicing. Relaticely cheap firearms with cheap ammo, maybe buy one of those while you go through training.
