Model 19 S & W.....I have kicked myself so many times for selling that gun, it's not even fun anymore. Model 19-6. Went through the academy with it.
Anyway, I agree with the revolver route. Several nice choices from S & W, Colt, Ruger. .357 so he can shoot .38 and then shoot the .357 loads when his confidence is built up. Or, a J frame is an excellent choice. I have a 642 and enjoy shooting it. Maybe get his feet wet then move to a semi auto down the line?
YMMV
