Don't buy a gun you don't like just because someone recommends it.
Most modern handgun designs have at least one passive safety designed to prevent the gun from discharging as a result of being dropped, etc. Many have more than one.
Handle some pistols--shoot them if you can. When you find a few you want, THEN come back and ask your questions.
