You're going to want something you can carry in a pocket holster probably, so something in .380 or 9mm (not many pocket 9's), or maybe a small revolver (I'm not familiar with them). Keep in mind that pocket guns are hard to shoot well, so I recommend either getting a larger gun for learning the ropes plus your carry gun, or doing a lot of homework on how to shoot a handgun properly & renting a larger gun a few times (you'll need someone to come w/ you to rent a gun I think). Either way you should definitely practice with your carry gun as much as possible.

Also, don't worry too much about caliber, shot placement is more important. Although you still shouldn't use anything below .380 for self defense.

Whatever you do, do your homework. There's plenty of informative videos on youtube to answer any questions you may have, whether they be on safety, a firearm, legality, or just shooting tips. I recommend hickok45 & Jerry Miculek, they're both very respectable people.
