Just remember that revolvers are safer to learn with. And that the more concealable (smaller) it is, the harder it is to shoot well.

Full Size, Mid Size and Compact. What's the Difference?

A jam is a failure to function that requires tools, and often a gunsmith, to restore function.

I think something slipped past the editor there. Out of curiosity, I looked it up. The first patented semiauto pistol appeared in 1891.

Whereas my finer handguns are revolvers (S&Ws, Colts), my carry guns are modern semi-autos. 1911 style guns are great and have their high points, and I own a few. But they are obsolete compared to modern semi-autos for concealed-carry guns. But, remember this: The smaller the gun, the shorter the barrel. The shorter the barrel, the shorter the sight radius. The shorter the sight radius, the harder it is to shoot accurately. You have to find a happy medium between a gun small enough to conceal, and one with enough sight radius to shoot accurately. On occasion, I will carry one of my 1911 guns. But, nine times out of ten, I’m packing my Glock model 23.

Revolvers a refine - for a limited target set. For those unpredictable ones, a good Glock with several 31/33 round magazines is what I’ve got.

Revolvers are easier to use competently than semi automatic pistols. When someone comes to the shop and says they want a handgun, I ask them their level of training. If they have minimal training or are purchasing it for someone who has little experience with firearms, I suggest that they get a revolver.
