What should I get for my first gun?

I've never owned a gun before and am looking to get a semi auto pistol. Anyone have any suggestions as to what would be a good first gun to own and why?

Before you buy anything, take the safety courses your local range offers and ask to "test drive" several pistols, safety is main priority.
