There is no correct answer that I can give you. The answer lies within your own needs, wants and budget. What I can do however is help direct you towards what might be the best option for you. The most important step in the process is finding out what you are planning on doing with it. Rifle, pistol or shotgun? Is it just for plinking or range time? Is it for hunting? Is it for self or home defense? Looking to get into competitive shooting? Figure this out and keep it in mind.
Once we know that, we can start to narrow down the options. The next question I will usually ask is, will this be your only one, or are you planning on getting something else later once you've had some more practice. This will change my suggestion depending on your answer – so think about it and keep the answer handy.
Lastly, once we know what type of firearm we're looking for – you need to either get out to a range that rents them, or find someone with firearms of that type, and try a few different makes and models. This is the most important part. You might like the idea of a big .45 caliber pistol, and it might have the looks you want and feel right in your hand – but if you get it out at the range and hate the way it shoots – you are not going to like shooting, and you've basically just wasted money.
