As a new shooter, a Glock is a great idea - if needed, there will be someone at most matches to help w spares, extra mags, holster, etc.
Otherwise, jump in the deep end of the pool, and go w a 2011.
But, really, get a Glock. You can't really lose money on it, too much, if you don't like it, and it won't hold you back, barring matches w. very long shots, at which point, you may need a better barrel.
