I’ve never owned one. What would be a good starter handgun?

Others may have more thoughts, but I just bought my first (besides a shotgun): a Smith and Wesson 38 revolver. Revolvers are simple, don’t jam, and in general are very easy to use. A 38 has plenty of stopping power and it’s 5 round capacity is plenty for most situations.
I have shot it at the range a couple of times and I really like it.

No perfect answer, but I'm partial to the Ruger .22 auto. Just passed my first one bought for $37 in paper route money down to my stepdaughter. Can't break one or wear it out.

Springfield Armory XDM. Not the cheapest, but one of the best. Off to the gun shop with you now!

Glock 19, hands down.
Simple to operate, simple to maintain, and always works.
It is the AK47 of the handgun world. Always goes bang. Takes high cap mags that can also be used in the full-size Glock G17.
The new Generation 4 Glocks are amazing.
