You can check out the product lineup here: Springfield Armory One of many models of handguns that people either love or hate.

The best advice I can give you is to go somewhere that allows you to rent firearms, spend some money shooting a variety of different guns in different calibers, and choose what you like the best. There are a LOT of different opinions out there, for every firearm you can imagine. These opinions range from "this is the biggest piece of shit in the world, and anyone who owns one is of questionable mental capacity and a fanboy" to "This gun eats mediocrity and pisses excellence. Anyone who says otherwise is obviously retarded, or eats babies." Somewhere in the middle lies a happy medium. If you read reviews and consistently find a happy medium, chances are it will probably be decent. If you find something you really like, research the piss out of it, mostly to see if there are any inherent issues related to quality control i.e. common problems, parts breakage, and most importantly (to me at least...) how much is it going to cost to fix/maintain and are the parts to do so available or not.
