Glock 17 or 19
Ammo is not to bad if you do not reload and Glocks are pretty easy to learn on. My dad is not a handgunner too much (he did shoot IPSC for several years with me with a 1911) but he does better with a Glock 17. Has a Para and a Kimber 1911 but a Glock is way simpler/easier for him. Sometimes SA autos can be alittle hard for beginners to remember mechanical aspects of. Safeties,hammers, cocked and lock etc. Glocks are the point and shoot cameras of the gun world. Heck even most cops learn to shoot them well!!!
If not a centerfire a Ruger MKII. Pretty easy to find on the used market around me. My first gun was a 686 but the second was a MkII my parents gave me for Christmas when I was 18. I shot the heck out of it and learned to shoot.
