take what you have and find an IDPA, USPA or 3gun event near you and spend ..oh.. 6 months MINIMUM (At least 1x per month) learning the ropes (people there will be glad to show you (if you're willing to learn))

observe
listen
practice


I guarantee your outlook will change after all that.
Well all i have right now is an Ak and an AR and a couple bolt action guns, no pistols.... I think i probobly ought to get one... that was the whole reason for this post deciding what gun to get so i can get good practice with it before applying for concealed carry....

IDPA i will look into that... once i actually own a pistol of some sort. I do want to learn how to shoot accuratly with a pistol... just honestly have never been a big fan of .45 shot one quite a bit and didnt like it... biggest handgun caliber i like is .357mag and thats cause the revolver i used it with was huge... dunno why my freind has that clunkly thing anyways but it's fun

The ones that i have shot that i'm really comfortable with are 9mm and 40S&W.... so the question still stands which one do you think i should get? 40 S&W or 9mm i like the recoil on those vs the highger calibers....

Right now i'm thinking about a Compensated Glock...
