For a first gun, striker-fired pistols are recommended for their simplicity and consistent trigger pull. While single-stack 9mms like the M&P Shield are good for concealed carry, their snappiness can be challenging for new shooters.

The Sig Sauer P320 stands out for its modularity, allowing easy customization of frames and calibers, making it a top recommendation for beginners.
