				 Re: who knows pistols? 
 
			
			if you want a 1911 the Ruger is a great choice.  My brother has one and has been very happy with it.  I have a springfield Range Officer and it has been great as well for about 100 more.
 If you want something more "modern" I really really like the Sig P226/229 in 9mm or .40.
 
 I had a springfield XD40 for a while and it was nice, but I liked the Gen 4 Glock 23 and the Sigs better.
 
 But I would definitely follow the advice Bobarian gave, try different guns, you'll have to learn if you prefer SA/DA, DA only, etc etc.
 
 1911s are my favorite, but to each his own.
