I'd start with something comfortable, but more powerful than a .22LR. Something Beretta 92 is probably good. I dealt with several first-timers, and nobody was traumatized by the excess recoil. That said, watch like a hawk for silly things like crossing the support thumb over: getting slide-bitten is going to ruin the fun. Also! It's super important to have comfortable, reliable ear protection, especially for novices. Finally, find a gun range where the RSOs are not overzealous - that can spook beginners.
