No sweat man. Of if the range is too far, go to a gun store, academy, bass pro, or something like that and hold a few. You can tell pretty quick which ones you like the feel of in the hand. 9mm has a slight kick, not much. .45 has a push, as in it pushes your hands back and up some for the recoil and a .40 has a snap that is slightly back but upward. At least they do for me. I started with big guns and worked my way down to 9mm. LOL
Glock is hard to beat in cost and function. They can really take a beating. You can change triggers and other parts on Glocks and the M&P line, or have a reputable shop do so if you like. The same for sights.
The M&P line have adjustable backstraps as do the Glock Gen 4 guns to adjust the grip width to your hand. Keep that in mind as well. You want it to be a very instinctual point and shoot feel. Always focus on the front sight when shooting.
Good luck! Keep us posted.
