Questions which you should ask yourself is

do you need to conceal it and carry it?
how much stopping power do you need?
are you big handed or small handed?
my wife is weak so cocking some guns is quite hard for her so for her a revolver is better.
I would recommend that you go to a gun shop and every gun shop I have been around the country has been helpful, they make you feel at ease and will do what they can for you plus let you pick a bunch up and feel them.
The place I go has a range so they let you fire the handguns you like and that way you get a feel for it.
If you like one they give you 10% off it.
Believe me they are totally different form one to another, in accuracy, weight, firing etc
I got a friends Sigma and compared it to mine SIGP229 and the difference was huge
best of luck
SIGs are like target pistols. Excellent guns.

One guy even said “I am not letting Obama send me to his reeducation or death camp.” People laughed nervously.
