I don't want to read too much into this, but the first thing I notice is you have never owned a gun and in a few months you plan to buy the SD9VE and go to the range for some practice.
I suggest you go to the range first and meet the owner/manager and some of the regulars. Try out several revolvers and semi-autos. As an instructor, I find that semi-autos are the rage, but they are not suited for everyone.
The 9mm does not have the recoil of a 40 S&W or a 45 ACP, but it is not a 22 LR either.
There is probably a NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Class offered in your area. What ever your selection, SAFETY FIRST, read the owners manual, and put in the trigger time to really get to know your gun, especially if this is for self defense and/or home protection.
