For novices, I highly recommend a .357 revolver loaded with .38 specials. If you shop around and insist on it, you can even find one that has a rail to attach a weapon light. The one example that comes to mind is the Smith & Wesson Shield Gun. Highly recommended. On the cheap, Ruger's .38 special revolver is also very good.
I am going to add to make sure they are hollowpoints. Hollowpoints will (in theory) stop at whatever they hit. There is less chance of missing the intended target and the round hitting a wall and continuing through and hurting someone else. Hollowpoints will hit the wall and stop.
