There are also other factors.
The model 92 has the hard 10-14 pounds of pull double action trigger for the first shot and after that a easy 6-8 pound trigger pull for each additional shot until the gun is decocked or completely emptied. Changing from the heavier DA mode over to the lighter single action mode takes practice,experience, and time to get used to. There are techniques for doing this. It can be done and is done so regularly. There are many brands of pistols similar in function to the 92.
24/7s have a long, light, but steady trigger pull for each shot. This is similar to shooting a revolver double action for each shot. Just an easier time pulling the trigger all the way through. This means consistant shot for shot trigger pull.
Since we do not know all the uses that you will be needing the handgun for it may be hard to give anything except some general advice. Are you going to shoot competition, have this for a house gun, or are you going to eventually carry a gun legally for defense?
Full size guns such as the 92 and full sized 24/7s are easier to learn the basics of shooting a handgun and maintaining proficiency with that firearm. So these may be a better starting point then getting a gun to learn with and then latter obtain a smaller gun for carry.
That all said it may be advantageous to start out learning the handgun basics with a .22lrf pistol or revolver instead of a centerfire handgun. Cheaper to operate and easier to learn with.
Speaking of revolvers, that may be a good recommendation. Manual of arms is easy to learn, more kinds of ammo can shot through them, no buttons ,slides and levers to manipulate or get in the way , and overall safety are advantegous of a good revolver.
Granted ammo capacity is only 5-8 rounds depending on the revolver model. But more ammo is not going tp make up for poor markmanship under stress or otherwise.
Oh, yes. Handgrips selection can be changed to fit your hand more so for the revolver. Semi-autos grips can be changed on some models for better fit. Just not as many though.
None of these " advantages" is totally for the revolver. Just things ot consider.
For example, I have both revolvers and semi-autos. Came up training on the rimfire revolver and then graduated to the centerfire guns.No reason one cannot start out on semi-autos.
The 9 millimeter is a good choice all around cartridge. Easy to control, cheap to shoot compared to other calibers, and gives a decent overall level of protection.
All the medium and large bore cartridges give a decent level of protection..38 Special on up that is.This has been documented many times.
I have the PT111 Mil/pro. This is a relative of the 24/7. Also have Ruger P95s.These two styles of trigger pull both demand different approaches to holding and firng them because one is double action only for purposes describes here, and the other is DA/SA trigger and has to be decocked each and every time for safety reasons with each use.
Whew. That's getting long winded.

But these are things to consider before buying.
jwc007 knows of what he speaks. So will others chiming in on this.
