Personally, I think you should consider a Beretta 92FS. I'm sure once everyone chimes in you should have a pretty good idea of what to get.fiscomi said:
The brigadier has a somewhat thicker slide, reducing recoil. The Inox models are mostly just appearance... except for the Inox Brigadier. The Inox brigadiers are being discontinued from what I understand.fiscomi said:

My advise to anyone that don't know what they want is to go to a gun show and handle, and look at as many as you can. Then go to a Shooting Range and rent the ones you like, or find a friend that will let you shoot one. That way you can find out what is best for you. Good Luck!!!

Being a "new gun enthusiast" brings up several ideas, however, it really boils down to what you're intended use is for. If it's just for the range, then a decent quality .22 would be good. .22 caliber handguns are good to learn with. If your ambitions are elsewhere, like home defense, possible carry, hunting, etc, then you need to figure out which is most important. It seems that you want a semi-auto, so there's a start. A .22 is cheap to shoot and generally pretty inexpensive to buy. Other calibers/ models will cost more for both. If you intend it for hunting, then check your state laws, as most states won't allow but certain calibers. I kind of like Taurus because the price point vs quality is pretty good for new handguns. Used handguns will usually be just fine, but they're like buying a used car.fiscomi said:
