Stick with the Revolver. Unless a person has a desire and is willing to get some what proficient with a semi-auto handgun IMHO a revolver is the way to go.

Point....pull trigger...bang.

No safety levers, slide stops, mag releases, decocking levers...on and on. Stuff you need to have a real interest in learning to do well if you have a semi.

38 special or a 357mag.

Easy-Pezzy.
