Glock 19 - $550 (depends on location and taxes)
1k rounds 9mm - $250 (usually cheaper to buy in bulk)
Range stuff - $100 (Eyes, Ears, Boresnake, maybe a mag or two, and a range bag

If you're thinking about extras / carry, budget $100+ for some good night sights, then another $150 or so for a decent gun belt and holster if you want to carry.

Should pulling a bore snake through the barrel be difficult? I have a Ruger LCP Custom (.380) and purchased the pistol .380 bore snake and it took all of the strength I had to pull it through the barrel when I was cleaning it.

Your list is fairly complete to me. Here are a few thoughts:

You might consider adding ear plugs under the ear muffs, especially if you go to an indoor range.
A bore snake, or similar tool, is very useful for quickly cleaning the barrel.
If you plan to do any dry fire practice, you'll need snap caps.
Otherwise, consider possible training classes?
Eventually you'll want additional magazines.

I have a bore snake for every caliber I own, they are great! OP this is what you want for cleaning: https://www.amazon.com/Hoppes-BoreSnake-Revolver-Cleaner-Caliber/dp/B0013RKHJI?th=1&amp;psc=1

There are cloth cleaning patches for firearms. The procedure would be to assemble a cleaning rod, cut the patch to the appropriate size, fix the patch to the rod and swab out the barrel (usually disassembled and removed from the firearm) after spraying some cleaner through it. If the patch comes out especially dirty, you cut a new patch and repeat until its clean. The process can be a bit labor intensive if the gun is old or frequently used, or if the gun has a large bore and requires a lot of swabbing.

A tampon can be inserted into the firearm's barrel and pushed through with the rod a few times to the same effect. There are products called 'bore snakes' that do the same thing and are reusable. It's a bit quicker, but maybe not as thorough. I'll use this method if I feel like I don't have the time to dedicate to cleaning, or I have a lot of cleaning to do. It's not as cost effective either, but the difference is a matter of pennies since I bought pharmacy brands that made it to the clearance bin. Sure, my romantic interest at the time had a small complaint about how uncomfortable they were compared to her brand, but they're for me.
