I'm helping my cousin find his first handgun, and we've got a budget of $400-$500. Can anyone help us?

What is your cousin going to use if for?
My first handgun was for concealed and carry. I bought a cheaper Taurus PT-111 in 9mm. Taurus isn't the greatest brand but this particular model got good reviews. I am pleased with it and have since bought two more on sale, the G2's.
I have since purchased a Ruger LCP in .380, a Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded in .45 acp, and a Ruger Super Redhawk in .44 mag. All have a different purpose for me.
Can you and your cousin visit a pistol range? I hear some rent out handguns, that would be a good way to handle and test fire some.
