I would recomend staying in the $500-$900 range for a first purchase unless you have an experienced person with you. The low end will obviously not be as nice as a higher priced one but will be less likely to be tampered with to artificially boost its value.
If you stick with the standard 4" military pistols in less than pristine condition, you are more likely to get what you pay for. Plus you will have one that you can afford to shoot!
