If you have a local gun shop that will let you handle all potential choices, you'll probably choose the one that you don't want to put down. No different from when I first drove a SAAB and couldn't wipe the grin off my face.
I chose a S&W M&P9c because of the ergonomics. It just fits. Interchangeable back straps, easy field stripping and zero, I mean NO fail to fires/eject in two years of range use. Also, the 9mm round is very forgiving and enables me to hit my targets.
The M&P is my home defense pistol. For every day carry, a S&W BG .380 is easily concealable and fits in my pocket holster. Snappy round in this gun, but, again, S&W ergonomics are SAAB-like.
Don't ignore revolvers if it's for (heaven forbid) personal defense. Check out the Ruger LCR. Superb little pistol with the very best trigger in a .38 caliber "snubbie." Revolvers are GREAT first guns. Heck, if you need more than five rounds in situation, RUN!
Enjoy shooting. It's a lot of fun (was going to say, "blast", especially if your significant other enjoys it, too.
Do check out the new S&W Shield, a single stack 9mm compact. Better trigger than the older M&P's in a smaller form factor.
Since Smith & Wesson is located in CT, something to consider, too.
