I always recommend revolvers for personal defense for rookie shooters anyway.
I've been shooting for 50 years, my carry gun is a revolver, if I go where I want a back up, the backup is also a revolver.
Why?
If one has a Glock 17 and, as a matter of routine, one always locks the slide back when inserting or removing a magazine, how is it different from a revolver? Pull the trigger--bang. Don't pull the trigger--no bang. If you don't want bang, don't pull the trigger.
Revolvers may in some ways seem simpler than semi-autos, but they have some pitfalls of their own. If a revolver is not loaded fully, one must be careful to ensure that the live rounds are properly placed. If one cocks the hammer on a partially-loaded revolver (including one which has been fired), decocking the hammer without turning back the cylinder will reduce the number of rounds available before the next 'click'.
While other firearms may offer a lower price or better accuracy, I think the Glock is pretty much perfect from a user-interface perspective.
