On a serious note: If you cannot or will not take the time to proofread your posts for spelling and grammar, you are unlikely to get courteous responses. If it isn't worth your time to proof your posts, it isn't worth my time to be civil.
Generally, you get what you pay for. For pistols, there is a general hierarchy of quality / price. At the top end, there are gas pistols with metal slides. They generally, but not always, run on Green Gas, which is basically propane with a silicone additive. They tend to be fairly accurate recreations of actual firearms, with slides that cycle, working safeties and decockers, and external dimensions that mirror the original firearms. Check out KWA for examples.
There are also some nicer gas pistols that use CO2 cartridges, but they tend to be less dimensionally accurate and have velocities higher than some events allow.
There are all-plastic gas-powered pistols that are either Gas BlowBack (GBB) or Non BlowBack (NBB). Most of these run on green gas, or a lower-powered duster gas (less common) or CO2. These are generally in the <$120 price range.
Next come the EBB (Electric BlowBack) pistols. Generally, unless it is powered by a rechargeable battery pack, it is a POS. In a lot of cases, even if it is powered by a rechargeable pack, it's still a POS.
Finally, there are the cheap spring pistols. These suck so hard that there aren't words to describe them.
There are some exceptions to all of these categories. Usually you pay accordingly. And, there are personal preferences as well. For example, if I had to choose between a WE pistol and contracting herpes, I'd probably choose herpes.
Your best bet is to visit a reputable retailer (i.e. not a sporting goods store) and take a look at some of the available models. When you have narrowed it down to a few that you like, you may find that there are user reviews that can help you finalize your decision, either on YouTube or by using the search function here.
As a final note, if you are looking to actually get out and play, a pistol is really, really far down on the list of stuff you should be buying.
