Whatever you decide to do, get good training from a reputable source.

Take the class before you buy a gun. You can thank me later.

One that fits your hand, feels comfortable, and that you can operate the controls of easily.

Go to a range that offers a safety course and take it. Then rent different models and try them.

(my only experience with firearms has been in Boy Scouts, when I got my riflery merit badge but that was a decade ago). I was thinking like a Beretta 92F or a p226, if anyone has any other suggestions it would be appreciated.

Depends on what your intended use of it is. Is this a CC gun? Is this a home defense gun? Is this a target gun? Etc. Tell us what you plan on using it primarily for.
