Not sure where you are in PA, so I just googled gun rental PA. This place could be really far or really close. http://www.targetmaster.com/

picked up a kahr mk9... nice and small, grip fits me much better than the fat grip of the doublestacked glocks, good heft to it for reducing recoil, trigger is long but very smooth, perfect carry gun with 6plusone 9mm +p's in a miniscule package or 7plusone with mag with pinky extension

A good first pistol?

Something in .22LR caliber like a Ruger MkII/MkIII or a Browning Buckmark.

Good for basic marksmanship training and doesn't break the bank with the cost of ammunition while you're getting trained up.

Just picked up a Springfield XD40 myself to go with my Sig.
I am still contemplating a purchasing a full size in the near future.

Haven't tried it yet. I just play with the gun...haven't actually shot it yet.

If it's the one that comes with all XD's it's not really a speed loader, just an assist really. Fits around the mag and pushed down the rounds in the mag to make it easier to put the next one in. Far better than doing it all by hand, but defiantly not a "speed loader in the sense I am used to.
