I would never recommend to a newbie to get a handgun as a first weapon.

He might wanna get one while the gettin's good.

i do agree. btw. training is one thing but a real firefight
is something totally different. it´s one thing to fire at “paper” targets... but it´s totally different when you are in a situation when you hear the unique sound a bullet fired into your direction makes (if you hear it because it sometimes happens that you hear no sound because your body runs on “emergency” mode in a life or death situation.

He might wanna get one while the gettin’s good.” That is a good idea, but I would hope that a 12 gauge is the go to weapon.
